AirlineRatings.com,
the world’s only safety and product rating website, which was launched in June
2013, has announced its top ten safest airlines and top ten safest low cost
airlines for 2015 from the 449 it monitors.
Top
of the list again is Qantas which has a fatality free record in the jet era.
Making up the remainder of the top ten in alphabetical order are: Air New
Zealand, British Airways, Cathay Pacific Airways, Emirates, Etihad Airways, EVA
Air, Finnair, Lufthansa and Singapore Airlines.
AirlineRatings.com’s
rating system takes into account a range of factors related to audits from
aviation’s governing bodies such as the FAA and ICAO as well as government
audits and the airline’s fatality record.
AirlineRating.com’s
editorial team, one of the world’s most awarded and experienced, also examined
each airline’s operational history, incident records and operational excellence
to arrive at its top ten safest airlines.
The
AirlineRatings.com top ten are always at the forefront of safety innovation and
launching new planes and these airlines are a byword for excellence. Responding
to public interest, the AirlineRatings.com editors also identified their top
ten safest low cost airlines.
They
are in alphabetical order: Aer Lingus, Alaska Airlines, Icelandair, Jetblue,
Jetstar, Kulula.com, Monarch Airlines, Thomas Cook, TUI Fly and Westjet.
Unlike
a number of low cost carriers, these airlines have all passed the stringent
International Air Transport Association Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) audit
and have excellent safety records. Many non-IATA airlines have done the IOSA
audit.
Of the 449 airlines surveyed 149 have the top seven-star safety ranking, but almost 50 have just three stars or less. Four airlines only achieved one star for safety from AirlineRatings.com. These are: Kam Air, Nepal Airlines, Scat and Tara Air.
In
making their decision, AirlineRatings.com editors noted that over its 94-year
history Qantas has amassed an extraordinary record of firsts in safety and
operations and is now accepted as the world’s most experienced airline.
In
2008 in its successful defence to the British Advertising Standards Association
of its claim that it is the world’s most experienced airline, Qantas was able
to list almost 30 notable industry leading achievements.
The
Australian airline has been a leader in: the development of the Future Air
Navigation System; the Flight Data Recorder to monitor plane and later crew
performance; automatic landings using Global Navigation Satellite System as
well as precision approaches around mountains in cloud using RNP.
Qantas
was the lead airline with real time monitoring of its engines across its fleet
using satellite communications, which has enabled the airline to detect
problems before they become a major safety issue.
There
is no doubt 2014 was a bad year for airline safety with some of the most tragic
and bizarre incidents in modern history but the numbers can be deceiving.
Certainly
21 fatal accidents with 986 fatalities – higher than the 10-year average – is
sickening. However, the world’s airlines carried a record 3.3 billion
passengers on 27 million flights.
Flashback
50 years and there were a staggering 87 crashes killing 1,597 when airlines
carried only 141 million passengers – 5 percent of today’s number.
Another
twist is that fatal accidents for 2014 were at a record low 21 – one for every
1.3 million flights. Two of the crashes last year – MH370 and MH17 – were
unprecedented in modern times and claimed 537 lives.
