Eleven individuals on board died as a result of the disaster, which happened on May 11 in Cameroon.
The delegation was taken to the AIB-N headquarters in Abuja on Wednesday by Mrs. Essimi Dine, Director of Civil Aviation for the Ministry of Transportation of Cameroon. She explained that the bureau's cooperation was required due to the country's advanced infrastructure.
She stated that AIB-N is anticipated to assist in downloading and analysing data from the aircraft's recorder.
She also stated that they would collaborate with AIB-N to develop their capacity for accident investigation.
She said: “We have come to see how AIB is doing things. What they can do in terms of equipment and the kind of infrastructure they have.
“We are sure that the cause of the accident will be resolved after our work here. We will further request for other areas of collaboration. We appreciate the support of AIB.”
Commissioner of AIB-N Mr. Akin Olateru said the bureau would be part of the investigation of the accident as Nigerians were on board.
Two Nigerian pilots and a Cameroonian operator were among those on board the ill-fated aircraft.
Olateru said Cameroon is seeking the assistance of the bureau in terms of the investigation to help with the download of the Flight Data Recorder (FDR), Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) and analysis of information and animation of how it happened.
He said: “We have one of the best accident investigative laboratories in the world. We have capability of getting information from the damaged recorder, which the aircraft came with.
“The aircraft came with a highly burned recorder but we will be able to retrieve information from it.”
Olateru said the AIB-N had previously helped some African countries, including Niger Republic, Gambia and Sierra Leone.
He also revealed that AIB-N has gotten approval from the Ministry of Justice to sign a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Sierra Leone to help them set up an Independent Accident Investigation Centre.
