Rankings there are many, but they all pale in importance next to this one of AirlineRatings.com, which values security in more than 400 airlines around the world (exactly 405).
The website takes into account the audits of different governing bodies of the industry, as well as the history of accidents and events that have occurred during the year, the experience of the pilots and the age of the companies fleet, among other factors. In this way, Qantas has once again placed itself at the top of the list of the safest in the world.
AirlineRatings.com concludes that the Australian is the most experienced airline that exists thanks to its continued search for innovation. Qantas are followed by Air New Zealand and Taiwanese EVA Air. The first European on the list, TAP Air Portugal, appears in the number 13 position.
The web director, Geoffrey Thomas, explains that only serious accidents are taken into account. "All airlines suffer accidents every day. Many times they are for issues that have to do with the manufacture of the plane, not for operational problems. What differentiates a safe company from another that is not how the crew resolves the incidents" underline
Actually there are not many differences between the first ten of the ranking. Yes, a little more among the ten seconds, experts say. This year's list would look like this:
