In making its selections AirlineRatings.com editors and its industry advisors take into account numerous critical factors that include; audits from aviation’s governing bodies and lead associations; government audits; airline’s crash and serious incident record, fleet age, financial position and pilot training and culture.
AirlineRatings.com editors, only look at serious incidents in making its determinations.
“All airlines have incidents every day and many are aircraft or engine manufacture issues not airline operational problems. And it is the way the flight crew handles incidents that determines a good airline from an unsafe one. So just lumping all incidents together is very misleading,” said Mr Thomas.
