Correct Einstein, the list is for safest airline 2016 as is the originally posted list. Do you really want to have a safest airline list 6 days into 2017? If so I guess every airline would be #1.
Point I'm making is there are so many rankings out there (safest airline, best airline, best service etc) that they start becoming irrelevant to an extent. It is purely a marketing tool used by airlines to attract business.
Not righting off a 747 in Bangkok to maintain a safety record comes to mind.
The only thing we should take from these lists is that we are at or near the top and not at the other end, who really cares if we #1 or #6.
