This month, AirlineRatings.com preceded its safest airlines for 2023. The study looked at 385 airlines at the forefront of safety, innovation, and launching new aircraft.
Agreeing to a press release, the study analyzed the following to determine the safest airlines in 2023:
- crashes over five years
- sombre incidents over two years
- audits from aviation’s governing bodies and lead associations
- fleet age
- expert scrutiny of pilot training
- COVID protocols
It’s important to note that although Alaska Airlines was the only U.S. carrier to real property the top 10, Hawaiian Airlines, United Airlines, American Airlines, and Delta Air Lines did make the top 20.
“However, all airlines comprise incidents every day, and many are aircraft or engine manufacture issues, not airline operational problems. It is the way the flight crew uses these incidents that determines a good airline from an unsafe one,” AirlineRatings.com editor-in-chief Geoffrey Thomas reveals.
