Assessment of the Impacts of Thunderstorm on Flight Operations at Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Ikeja, Lagos State, Nigeria DOI: https://doi.org/10.30564/jgr.v6i1.5057 Abstract The inefficiency of the aviation industry and the persistent rise in aviation hazards have been linked to weather phenomena. As a result, researchers are looking for better solutions to the problem. The study examined the impact of thunderstorms on flight operations at Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Lagos. The data on thunderstorms and flight operations were sourced from Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet) and Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA) respectively. In order to meet the research target, descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation, and charts) and inferential statistics (Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation (PPMC) and Regression) were used.
