Qantas Airlines was once again on the ranking list of Airlineratings.com, which examined data for about 385 airlines, followed by Qatar Airways at the top of the list of the safest airlines to travel in 2021.

The French newspaper "Le Point" said in its report that the year 2021 may be exceptional again if you want to travel by plane, given that the global epidemic requires this, adding that despite the sharp decline in air traffic last year, the "Airline Reading" website collected data about about 385 airlines to classify those that will be the safest to travel in the coming months.

selection criteria

Among the criteria that are taken into account are the age of the air fleet, the number of recorded serious accidents and government audits, as well as governance bodies and the aviation industry, or measures put in place to deal with COVID-19.

"The challenge this year is the number of airlines operating flights. The 20 safest airlines we all have continued to organize flights, albeit in a limited way," says Geoffrey Thomas, editor-in-chief of Airline Reading.

He added that the Australian company Qantas - the oldest in service in the world - emerged in the ranking as this was already the case between 2014 and 2017, then 2019 and 2020, at a time when Air France was absent from the list of the top twenty.

The specialized site highlighted many of the criteria that have turned the scales in favor of Qantas, which is the undisputed leader in the development of the air navigation system in the future, according to the French newspaper report.

The Australian company created a system that allowed pilots to break their routine after the flight suspension period caused by Covid 19, as each pilot had to follow a 6-day program, with a day devoted in particular to entertainment.
