Safest & Least Safest Airlines

Hmm this might be an interesting list.

That's a good list. Looks to me like American and European carriers are pretty similar.....especially from 2002 forward. This is essentially what my husband says. If I am going to fly, I am going to choose an American or European carrier (Australian can be lumped in as well).

No those are actors.

no U.S. airtravel is very safe.

And that's why they feature so prominent in air craft investigation series. And all are of course fake and actors and for an American public etc etc etc.

It is extremely rare that a major American airliner crashes.

Exactly. A major.

The ones that crash are mainly twin engines planes with commercial pilots.

From smaller companies.

mainly just private owned jets with amateur pilots is mostly what happens. Crop dusters crash a lot also.

British Airways is one of the safest if not safest european company in the last 30 years.

British Airways did not had any accident after which someone would die from 1976.
