Russia the most dangerous place to fly in 2006: IATA
LONDON (Reuters) - Russia remains the most dangerous place to fly despite global improvements that made 2006 the safest year on record, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) reported on Tuesday.
Russia and other members of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) had an accident rate 13 times the global average, IATA said.
Improvements in Africa were part of a positive annual report from the Geneva-based trade organization, which said major global accidents fell to 77 from 111 a year earlier.
The industry on average had 0.65 serious accidents per million flights for Western-built jets or one accident for every 1.5 million flights.
