Tragedy was averted last Wednesday February 3
when a Bristow helicopter enroute Lagos from
PortHarcourt with 11 passengers including two
crew members onboard crashed into the Atlantic
Ocean. Luckily, nobody died yet not many know
the capable hand that was in charge of the
helicopter.
Captain Abimbola Jayeola who is also Nigeria’s
female helicopter pilot flew the 5B BJQ Bristow
helicopter that was headed to Lagos from Port
Harcourt but ended up “ditching” into the
Atlantic Ocean. “Ditching” is a controlled
emergency measure to land an aircraft on water.
Captain Jayeola hails from Abeokuta in Ogun
State. In 2008, she graduated from the Bristow
Academy in Florida USA, where she “learned to
believe in herself”.
It was revealed that were it not for the captain,
all the lives aboard would have perished.
Jayeola currently works for Bristow Group and is
based in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital.
Before joining her present employers, she worked
with Geointel and Associates.
