Why it is on record
Operated Boeing 737s on West African routes; the 22 October 2005 crash of Flight 210 (Lagos–Abuja, 117 dead near Lisa village, Ogun State) was a watershed in Nigerian aviation safety reform — leading directly to the 2006 NCAA-led re-certification of every Nigerian carrier.

Flight 210 (Oct 2005) — catalyst of post-2005 aviation safety reform.
Deep dive
Bellview Airlines, founded in 1992 by Kayode Odukoya, was a major Nigerian operator in the late 1990s and early 2000s. The 22 October 2005 crash of Flight 210 (Boeing 737, Lagos–Abuja) immediately after takeoff from Lagos, killing all 117 on board, was the first major crash of the renewed Nigerian aviation safety crisis of 2005–2006 (followed within weeks by Sosoliso and a year later by ADC). Bellview ceased operations soon after.
Accountability
AIB final report cited engine-failure and crew-decision factors; Bellview AOC suspended 2009.
