On Norbert Jacquet’s website, we can find a page pointing out that the Airbus 320 would be much more dangerous than the Boeing 737 NG (-600 to -900).

Extracts :
… Referring to the ICAO standards to define the terms of an accidents :
- Airbus 320 : fourteen accidents (including two on the ground, out of operation, that we have to deduce),
- Boeing 737 -600/700/800/900 : none or one accident (There is a debate on the December, 8th 2005 Chicago 737-700 crash, in which we deplore no wounded or dead people in the aircraft. The plane, lightly damaged, will fly again, if not already done).

On this same Norbert Jacquet’s page, there is a link towards a page confirming that Bernard Ziegler, father of the “Airbus technology”, in 1961 cut a teleferic cable with his plane (

Was Bernard Ziegler the right man to conceive the Airbus cockpits?
What can we think about the differences on the crashes’ rates for the A 320 and the B 737 NG? (the B 737 NG fleet is 40% inferior to the A 320’s one)?
