An Empirical Analysis of the Causes of Air Crashes from a Transport Management Perspective

Abstract

Aviation has changed into high level of operations technically, administratively and even technologically. This has been made possible with the introduction and manufacture of larger and faster aircrafts that greatly incorporates advanced information management technologies. With increase in the volume of traffic and the demand for air transportation, comes the risk and increase in air crashes. Causes of air crashes have been studied by various researchers and bodies. What this studied did was to examine causes of air crashes from all over the world and analyze them based on the locations of accidents to determine the causes of accidents in different locations. It was observed that certain regions were recorded to have similar causes of accidents and some others were prone to certain causes of accidents. North America had more cases of air crashes over otherregions but when compared with the volume of traffic in this region one will understand why they had many more crashes than others. They can be adjudged to be safer than some other regions such as Asia and Africa.

Potensi Bahaya pada Ujung Runway 24 Bandar Udara: Sebuah Implementasi Manajemen Resiko

“…Bandar udara merupakan fasilitas atau tempat bagi pesawat terbang untuk melakukan aktivitas lepas landas (take off) dan juga mendarat (landing) (Tabaru , Rumapea , & Tampongangoy, 2016) dan (Darwis, Hendra, & Purnomo, 2020) serta perpindahan manusia dan barang dalam moda transportasi udara (Shulfi & Syahnur, 2017) dan (Stephens & Ukpere, 2014). Transportasi udara di era masa kini semakin maju dan canggih seiring perkembangan zaman.…”

“…Transportasi udara di era masa kini semakin maju dan canggih seiring perkembangan zaman. Moda transporstasi udara saat ini menjadi pilihan banyak orang (Hendra, 2020) ketika hendak berpergian jauh dikarenakan efisiensi waktu dan tenaga (Purba, 2017) dan (Stephens & Ukpere, 2014). Disamping itu, transportasi udara juga moda transportasi yang memiliki nilai persentase kecelakaan paling kecil (Purba, 2017), (Higgins, 2015) dan (Stoop & Kahan, 2005).…”

“…Banyak faktor yang menyebabkan kecelakaan terjadi. Beberapa diantaranya adalah karena faktor pesawat itu sendiri, faktor cuaca, faktor kelalaian manusia (human error), faktor kondisi lapangan yang tidak sesuai dengan aturan yang sudah ditetapkan, atau bahkan ketidakberfungsian dari fasilitas-fasilitas bandara (Stephens & Ukpere, 2014), (Poerwanto & Mauidzoh, 2016), dan (Shahriari & Aydin, 2018). Berdasarkan data Komite Nasional Keselamatan Transportasi (KNKT) didapatkan informasi yang menyatakan bahwa 32 persen kasus kecelakaan pesawat terjadi di bandar udara (Pakan, 2014).…”
