The website Airline Ratings has released their latest ranking of the world’s safest airlines. Drawing on a record of 448 airline’s historic safety data, the ten safest were calculated on a seven star scale with Australia’s Qantas leading the pack. Airline Ratings’ team analyzed crash histories, audits from aviation’s governing bodies and lead associations, government audits, and related accidents to quantify the rating. All ten of the website’s picks received seven out of seven stars, but it’s worth noting that the website has a total of 137 airlines with a seven star rating. As commercial aviation is highly monitored and regulated, there are rarely airplane crashes and few safety incidents to distinguish between the best rated airlines. The website also took in-flight products into consideration to distinguish between closely matched airlines in terms of safety.
