Assessment of the Impacts of Thunderstorm on Flight Operations at Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Ikeja, Lagos State, Nigeria

The inefficiency of the aviation industry and persistent rise in hazards have been linked to weather phenomena. As a result, researchers are looking for better solutions problem. study examined impact thunderstorms on flight operations at Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Lagos. data were sourced from Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet) Airspace Management (NAMA) respectively. In order meet research target, descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation, charts) inferential (Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation (PPMC) Regression) used. significance level all analyses was set 5% (0.05). revealed that 77.4% occurred during rainy season (April-October) while 22.6% dry (November-March). It also some fluctuating movements thunderstorm area. According findings, occur most frequently airport June less January December. discovered positively significantly related delays cancellations, association between diversions occurrence is positive but statistically insignificant. Furthermore, delays, diversions, cancellations interact among themselves. regression result 1% increase leads 19.4% delay, 7.1% cancellation, 4.3% diversion. presented various models may be utilized make predictions. proposes consistent observation steady forecasts using models, based findings. However, it further recommends pilots, air traffic controllers, meteorologists trained retrained so they can provide more efficient services.
