Because of work I will need to travel to Vietnam and Malaysia (and other Southeast Asian countries) frequently and all the obvious options have quite negative ratings or history compared to my EU favourites, or are too new to have any data:
Malaysian Airlines
AirAsia
Malindo Air
VietJet
I also read that some airlines don't have the IOSA certification.
So if you are safety-conscious, too, which airlines would you fly on if you had to for work?
From the safety perspective, what's wrong with Ryanair?
