I recently read a report on air traffic safety and stumbled across the following lines:
According to 2004 IATA statistics, 23 out of the world's 103 accidents in Western-built jets happened in Africa.
"And remember that Africa only accounts for 4.5% global traffic," added IATA chief executive Giovanni Bisignani.
"If we add Eastern-built aircraft the figures for Africa are worse," he said but did not give exact figures.
Now you know where NOT to book your next holiday......
