Qantas Is The Safest Airline For 2023
This year, Qantas has been crowned the safest airline for 2023. The airline put last year’s winning airline, Air New Zealand, in second position. This is not the first time that this century-old Australian airline has bagged this place. Qantas was named the safest airline in the world in 2014 and 2017. The airline made the list in 2018, but did not take the top spot. Then came its hattrick win, where the airline was named the safest for three consecutive years: 2019, 2020, and 2021.
Qantas has been accepted as the industry’s most experienced airline. The factors considered for the rankings are serious incidents over the past 2 years, final audits by the governing bodies of aviation, fleet age, COVID protocols, crashes over the last 5 years, and expert analysis of pilot training. Editor-in-chief for AirlineRatings.com, Geoffrey Thomas, said that these top 20 airlines are consistently at the forefront of safety innovation, operational excellence, and the introduction of newer, more advanced aircraft.
AirlineRatings.com uses a unique seven-star rating system when rating the airlines. You can easily look at about 385 airlines and compare them on various bases before deciding on one.
