AirlineRatings.com Editor-in-Chief Geoffrey Thomas said analysts at the site monitor airlines over a five-year period, including serious incidents over two years.
It also considers audits from aviation’s governing bodies and lead associations; fleet age, expert analysis of pilot training and COVID protocols in making the list.
“All airlines have incidents every day, and many are aircraft or engine manufacture issues, not airline operational problems. It is the way the flight crew handles these incidents that determines a good airline from an unsafe one,” Mr Thomas said.
