Top Ten safest airlines in the world
 

JACDEC says their roster is "based on our annual safety calculations which include all hull loss accidents and serious incidents in the last 30 years of operations in relation to the revenue passenger kilometers (RPK) performed in the same time."

"We also took into account the international safety benchmarks such as the IOSA Audit and the USOAP country factor."

Here it is. The top 10 safest airlines in the world.
1. Finnair
2. Air New Zealand
3. Cathay Pacific
4. Emirates
5. Etihad
6. Eva Air (Taiwan)
7. TAP (Portugal)
8. Hainan Airlines
9. Virgin Australia
10. British Airways

Ouch, someone is missing from there! Will it affect his bonus? Not likely.

Interesting, the Rat came in at 13.

Full list of 60 is here http://www.aerointernational.de/serv...nking-2012.pdf

Oh give me a break! How long have VA been operating? Economies of scale?

And how was the reporting culture in the first few years? How many serious events happened without the wider aviation community finding out? (Those of us in the know, know.) Granted things are vastly different now, but JACDEC would easily have published a few of the more prominent stuff-ups if they knew!

Qantas can't have a pilot with a runny nose without a "near disaster" headline the next day.

The bunnys forgot about the EK A340 at Melbourne I guess

How does Air NZ get to be 2nd with such a small network and after a certain mountain in Antarctica?

Poor Leadership = Result
 

15 years ago even Hollywood knew that Qantas was the safest airline. The fact that Qantas doesn't even rate in the top 10 anymore reflects poorly on both the Executive and the Board. It is only the quality and quantity of the staff fighting against the general direction that management is wanting to lead that enables Qantas to stay in the top 20.

Management's only strategy is to deal with the quantity issue. What other routes can they give away?

What tha?
 

What a crock of ****e?

Who are these so called "specialist groups" that come up with these ratings?

OR is it like the other Best Airline in the world "rating"........ the airline with the deepest pockets wins:=

What about BA's tripler at LHR in 2008?????? You can tell me that wasn't a hull loss.

Maybe they should have a rating on Jet Engine Manufacturers........I like to see that...rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr:E

.....and Jo'burg I think too.

Patriotism doesn't justify avoiding the facts. The 380 engine explosion, and 747 Oxy bottle ripping a hole in the fuselage and 747 sliding off the end of a runway incidents alone justify Qantas being relegated. I can already hear the screaming that the 380 was a RR build/ warranty issue. The reality is that when an airline has an incident it's the airlines brand that's highlighted and tarnished, not who manufactured the engine or the malfunctioned part that caused the incident. Stop trying to defend the indefensible.
Under AJ's watch....things have progressively deteriorated.

As a CX Pilot I'm quite happy with our position on the list!!

The last and only Jet hull loss we had was a bomb explosion over Vietnam in 1972 on a Convair CV 880.

:ok:

Air New Zealand gets to be 2nd with a small network and an accident that happened outside the 30 years this sample is looking at. RTFQ.

Two people~one is an idiot and one is an idiot savant.Not too difficult to guess which is which

For Air NZ to be number two, they must have disregarded the A320 that went in on a test flight.

Half the airlines quoted on that list haven't been around long enough to develop any meaningful statistics. Some airlines sail very close to the wind and don't have a fatal crash, others have the safest operation you can imagine and then have a one off crash. Really all depends on the reports definition of 'Safe'.

Perceptions are everything and the Rat should be ashamed, but they wont be as they send the PR mini rats to spin the spin.

No one from the Board or Exec care because it is not relevant to their agenda BUT it should be.

If people perceive they don't rate then there is only one Exec team who should be held accountable.That isn't going to happen any team soon or until EK are actually running the joint which seems perilously close.

Yep you cannot be wrong when you are the smartest guys in the room.

I read somewhere else that Air Canada were the worlds safest but they don't even make the top 10 here ???:confused:

Cathay had an incident with contaminated fuel a while back, not their fault and well handled by the crew but a close thing.

Mach E Velli

the 'Air NZ' A320 was painted in NZ colours, but it had not been handed back to NZ off lease and was still being operated by XL Airways and flown by XL Airways crew (although several NZ staff were on board).

Having said that, NZ are very fortunate that this survey had an arbitrary 30 year cut off. If it had been 35 or 40 years then Erebus would have been included and obviously they would not have been anywhere near the number 2 position in the list.

Who are JACDEC anyway?
