Hi kalinorbok and welcome to the 'cabin'. There are a number of sites that give statistical data about airline safety and the key points are to look at the long story. If, for example, a carrier adds lots of extra aircraft and destinations, then they might have a higher incident rate - simply because they are operating more flights, not because they are getting less safe.

As to this particular event, you may find that the thread on the 'front page' of Rumours & News does carry a lot of good information, despite the folks who are shouting at each other! One key aspect is social culture of the carrier and it's owners, which is very different to major American carriers, for example.

I hope you stay and continue to share the forum.
