These are probably the most UNSAFE airlines

First the good news: Flying has become increasingly safe over the years. The risk of crashing and dying during a flight is now around 50 times smaller than when driving on the highway or cycling.

Last year, 233 people died in plane crashes worldwide. However, this number is a significant improvement on the average of the last 10 years (373).

To assess the safety of airlines, there are regular rankings that compare various criteria such as the number of incidents and the age of the fleet.

ℹ️ Note: Each of these statistics is subject to change because the criteria is weighted subjectively and, for example, accidents in the last thirty years cannot provide information about today's standards. Please do not base your booking decision solely on such lists.
