Safest & Least Safest Airlines

[rhiannon]

That's peculiar then. Royal Dutch Airlines. Maybe that works.

Nope. Not one reference to a single Dutch airline that I can find on any list.

Nevertheless, there are numerous American carriers on these lists.

We're not so bad over here, you know

OK. I see it there Note there are numerous American carriers on that list as well, though. Plus, KLM appears to be linked directly to Air France. I am gonna check my husband's workplace website to see if I can link directly off of it. My guess is the data found there will be the most accurate of all

Well, yes. They are two companies working very closely together. They have merged a while back but unlike SA's claim it's not foreign owned. Otherwise it wouldn't have a Royal title as that is not allowed under Dutch law.

Here are some stats....numbers reflect # of fatal events per million miles traveled
carriers with highest fatality records


Turkish Airlines 3.60
Indian Airlines 3.53
Aeromexico 1.76
Japan Airlines 1.36
SwissAir 1.20

Uuuh dude... I only flew Turkish airlines, and SwissAir. And if this list is somehow true, i'm lucky to be alive. Hurray for me !!! Lol.

Could you show me the example of fatalities of Turkish Airlines and SwissAir if you have ? Just curious, i wanna check.

I have flown Zest Airways from Manila to Puerto Princesa. Nothing happened. The plane was new and it was just a safe ride. For all the other flights in my life it has only been KLM or KLM exel (which no longer exists.)

Don't trust Russian made aircrafts (e.g., Tupolev). Former USSR states' airlines have them, as well their former "satellite" states. I wouldn't fly on one.

I think most major European airlines are pretty safe. Notable exception would be Air France which had three major accidents from 2000 to 2010, two of them killing everyone on board (Concorde crash and flight from Rio de Janeiro to Paris Charles de Gaulle).

Hmm this might be an interesting list.

Yes. I think that Lufthansa and Garuda would be better partners for KLM then a bunch of frogs that are just trying to sell their Airbus.

On Air-France-KLM (Dutch tend to use KLM-Air France when refering to the company):

Air France-KLM was created by the mutually agreed merger between Air France and Netherlands-based KLM on 5 May 2004.
As a result of the deal, the French government's share of Air France was reduced from 54.4% (of the former Air France) to 44% (of the combined airline). Its share was subsequently reduced to 25%, and later to 18.6%.
At the time of the merger in May 2004, Air France and KLM combined offered flights to 225 destinations in the world. In the year ending 21 March 2003, the two companies combined transported 66.3 million passengers.
In October 2005, Air France Cargo and KLM Cargo, the two freight subsidiaries of the group, announced a merge of their commercial activities. The Joint Cargo Management Team now operates the organisation worldwide from the Netherlands.
In a 2007 opening for a majority takeover of the loss-generating Alitalia, Air France-KLM was one of three bidders, and was favoured by the board of Alitalia.[7] However, on 2 April 2008, it was reported that negotiations have been abandoned.[8] After the acquisition of Alitalia and Air One by Compagnia Aerea Italiana on 12 December 2008, Air France-KLM has announced it is interested once again in purchasing a participation in the new merged company. On 12 January 2009, Air France-KLM announced that it will buy a 25% share in this company for €323 million.[9]
February 2011: Air France-KLM with Delta Air Lines are working together to examine a bid for Virgin Atlantic. At the present Richard Branson has 51 percent stake of Virgin Atlantic and the rest is held by Singapore Airlines.[10]
Air France-KLM has categorized as one of World's 10 safest airlines announced by ATRA in August 2011.[11][10]

Here is that list. In 2011.
