Related to the current debate about the accident rate for the. MAX by region, over the last ten years this slide seems to paint some sort of picture. I know the sample rate is low these days so one crash among few can skew the stats. For example a really poor startup somewhere with maybe 30 planes might be fatality free after 5 years and would look really good, while incubating a very poor future. A really good airline with 40 years fatality free and with a generally excellent safety focus and organisation with good training can be unlucky. I am not picking out this next airline as necessarily fitting those criteria but they are close and it illustrates the point. ---- BA 777 LHR at LHR for example nearly killed more people than any crash in history - if the engines had failed over London 5 minutes earlier. We all need a bit of luck as well as first class pilots, training, engineering and corporate/regulatory safety culture.
The left two columns are region. The right two are the airlines.
Excluding small accidents. No Military or Freighters. No Hot Air Baloons. Just scheduled passenger planes with major accidents
Ignore the yellow highlight. Not relevant.
