The report assessed the safety standards based on aviation rules, staff training, licensing aircraft operations, probing the accidents, and navigation services, among other things.
International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) underlined that the aviation accidents rose 16 per cent in the year 2019 compared to the previous year.
