Although plane crashes are rare, they are frightening with a large number of victims and a small chance of surviving an accident. Therefore, at least for your own peace of mind, it is advisable to fly with the most reliable airlines.
Every year, news agencies publish ratings of the safest carriers in the world. And although the rankings may change, some airlines that have been on all the main lists for several years in a row can be considered the most reliable.
Airline Qantas from Austria has become a stable leader in many ratings. For more than 60 years, not a single person has died on its flights, and even emergency landings of this company's planes were rare. To some extent, this can be explained by a happy coincidence, but in general, flight safety is the result of the high professionalism of the pilots and other representatives of the company.
The Finnish company Finnair can also be trusted when traveling. The last crash with her plane happened in the 60s. Finnair's services are also available to Russians - the company organizes flights to Europe via Moscow airports.
Air New Zealand, New Zealand's national carrier, has also proven itself to be the best. It carries out a significant amount of traffic, because the easiest way to leave the country is by plane. At the same time, there were very few emergencies in the history of this New Zealand company.
Of the low-budget companies, Air Berlin can be noted. Despite the cheapness of tickets, it does not save on the quality of the aircraft and the selection of pilots. During the entire existence of the company, no people died on any of its flights.
Russian airlines are also included in the lists of the most reliable. For example, in the top ten you can find Transaero. And Aeroflot, which makes the largest number of flights in the country, hardly makes it into the list of the 50 safest companies. The statistics are spoiled by 10 accidents that have happened to her planes since the 70s.
After reviewing the safety rating, do not exclude the possibility of traveling by aircraft of companies that have not managed to break into the top lines. Industry giants such as Air France or British Airways are lower in the ratings, primarily due to the greater number of flights, which, according to statistics, accounted for more accidents.
