The risk of President Robert Mugabe’s flights being compromised by an unexpected plane accident has risen to more than 85%.
An aviation-watch consortium has drawn up statistics showing a sharp ascending rise in plane crash risk to levels worse than 65 years ago in 1950 when aviation technology was still primitive.
This has become so especially for those who fly across Asian skies where President Mugabe frequents for medical treatment.
“Aircraft passing through Asian airspace must take utmost precaution as the risk has risen to 90%”, said David Cohen, of the AVS organisation.
The highest ever number of fatalities was in 1972. In 1950 the number was lower than 700, but in 2014, it went past the 50 marker.
Cohen however added that the risk is now high for flights to Asian countries like Malaysia and Singapore where President Mugabe flies, “Pilots should research well every time before taking into the skies for the number of danger spots in the oceanic territories has risen.”

Not sure if the stats used to come up with the 90% took into account the major cause of these aircraft accidents. From what I hear the most recent accidents have been due to human / pilot error or mechanical fault. Mr Mugabe has the best pilots and his plane is well serviced. Highly unlikely that his plane will crush somewhere in Asia.

What a stupid headline. This is not about Mugabe but Asia, so why headline it on Mugabe?
