    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is a requirement that airlines report all incidents. From our records, this airline cannot be taken as one that should be de-registered or one that has got exceptionally high number of incidents occurring. We have 920 aircraft registered in the country. They all report incidents. Incidents can even include a situation where a passenger vomits, for example. That is an incident, because that has got to be investigated as to why that has July 9, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 1705 happened. It could also be why a seat cannot recline or a serious matter relating to hydraulic failure or other problems. I would like to assure the House that the fact that I have highlighted these incidents does not mean that the aircraft is not safe to fly. On every single day, every aircraft reports an incident or two. But it is a requirement, whether serious or not. One of the incidents here was that the aircraft hit a bird. Now, that is beyond the control of the aircraft, pilot and the crew. But it must be reported because it could cause a very serious accident. However, I would like to assure the House, once again, that these incidents are under control, because once reported necessary checks are made in conformity with the requirements of the manufacturers. It is not the age of the plane that really matters, but the conformity on the maintenance and requirement as outlined by the regulations of the manufacturer."
