The FAA has strict guidlelines that all airlines that fly into america must adhere to. If you are flying an american run airline they should all be fine. Be careful when flying in South africa, they seem to be having a string of deadly crashes. There are travel advisories in some countries where the FAA does not accept their safety precautions.

Answer 5

Which is the safest Airline?

Officially, it is not possible to get a ranking of airline safety because of the difficulty of getting the accident rates data reliably from the Airlines or even the responsible aviation authorities. For instance, as late as 1996, the FAA was not providing the statistics to the consumers. Their rationale: to prevent public disclosure of sensitive information to the public. However, the former Inspector General of the US Department of Transportation, Mary Schiavo rejected this argument, saying that the flying consumer, that is, the public who has the greatest interest in knowing the safety rates of airlines should not be deprived of such information and did release some data later on when she resigned from the Office.

I have however compiled some information that I have gathered from various sources and came up with some unofficial rankings below. Accidents can be a result of many factors. It is never easy to make good comparisons but I will endeavor to do so by using accident rates only. Accident rates are defined as the number of safety problems that arose for every 100,000 take-offs.

As a general rule, airlines from the First World have a better safety record than those from the less developed World. The safety of an airline is dependent on many factors, namely the management of the Company, the age of the aircraft, how well are the training standards being maintained, whether standard operating procedures are properly adhered to, proper maintenance of aircraft and sometimes, there are other outside factors which are beyond the airlines’ control. Thus, accident that arose can be attributed to a combination of many factors.

Listed below are the 10 safest Airlines for each region of the world. It is meant to serve as an unofficial ranking and as well as a general guidance to the air traveler. The Rankings listed below are compiled from AirDisaster.com, Boeing's Statistical Summary of Commercial Jet Airplanes Accidents: 1959-1999 and some from Mary Schiavo's book, Flying Safe, Flying Blind. There are many criteria used by other organizations to provide safety statistics for airlines, and aviation authorities are reluctant to come to a consensus and provide an official one. Thus, where the accident rates varies, I have done some juggling by averaging the results in order to come out with these unofficial rankings. Therefore, I cannot guarantee accuracy or endorse any airlines or aircraft based on them. These rankings are based on average accident rates only and are subjected to corrections from time to time.

Qantas is one of the safest airlines in the world with a record of zero fatalities in its many years of operation. However, one of its Boeing 747 was involved in an accident during a landing in Bangkok. Although there were no fatalities, the damage to the airplane was quite extensive. Instead of writing off the hull that would be cheaper, it appears that Qantas decided to repair the airplane to maintain a zero hull loss record!

According to the table, All Nippon Airways has an even better record than most of the American or European best Airlines.

Answer 6

My dad said, who flys alot said that Jet Blue is a good airplane company. He said they never have problems. That is what I have to take to Pittsburgh, PA to Cali. Plus in Pittsburgh they have commercials I'm not sure if they have the commercial in other states like we do. Saying you can get from like (example) Orlando to New york. (That what the commercial said)and you can travel there for like $69.00, I think its a very good deal so I'm going with that

Answer 7

Aviation these days is actually a very safe way to travel. If you are looking into safety statistics try the NTSB
http://www.ntsb.gov/aviation/aviation.htm

Answer 8

I think Delta is. They use a very strict hierarchy with the flight crews and it is strictly business when they're flying.

Answer 9

they all safe these days,
any crashes are due to an unfortunate chain of coindidences which can occur with any carrier.
