Qantas tops airline safety rankings

[BuzzBox]

4Greens,

Qantas does have an excellent safety record, but you also need to consider that Qantas is a relatively small operation in global terms, especially on the international side. The bulk of its flying is domestic, which all takes place within the sheltered workshop environment of Australia. There are a number of airlines out there that do just as well on the safety front as Qantas, yet face far more operational 'threats' than Qantas.

Geoffrey Thomas lauds Qantas as the 'world's most experienced airline'. What a load of bollocks. Qantas might be one of the world's oldest airlines, but there are a number of other airlines out there that have flown far more hours/sectors than Qantas and in that regard have more 'experience' than Qantas will ever have.
