When determining the safest carriers in the world, the website takes a range of factors into account, including crash and serious incident records, audits from aviation’s governing and industry bodies, government audits, safety initiatives, fleet age and more.

“All airlines have incidents every day and many are aircraft manufacture issues, not airline operational problems,” AirlineRatings.com Editor-in-Chief Geoffrey Thomas said. “It is the way the flight crew handles incidents that determines a good airline from an unsafe one.”

The company rates the safety and in-flight product of 385 airlines using its seven-star rating system and has become the industry standard for safety, product and COVID-19 rating during the ongoing outbreak.

In addition to the low-budget carrier ratings, AirlineRatings.com announced its top 20 safest airlines for 2021, which includes top U.S. brands such as American, Delta, Southwest and United.
