The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) recorded no fatalities and significant reduction in airport accidents last year compared with 2023 data.
CAAP Director General Captain Manuel Antonio Tamayo said a total of 13 accidents were recorded in various ports in the country in 2023 and last year, only four were recorded.
"All reported incidents last year were limited to general aviation and trainings, while commercial aviation maintained a flawless safety record with zero accidents or fatalities," said Tamayo.
He attributed it to what he described as rigorous implementation of safety programs, stricter oversight of aviation operations, and its collaboration with stakeholders in the aviation industry.
