Discussions around the safety of flying are now dominated by the global pandemic, but the “Top Twenty Safest Airlines 2021” list compiled by airline website AirlineRatings.com doesn’t have anything to do with COVID-19.
The list analyzes crash records and safety compliance to highlight airlines that it claims are leading air travel safety. AirlineRatings.com analyzed crash and serious incident histories, fleet ages, and audits of 385 airlines performed by governments and aviation associations.
It used that analysis to name the 10 safest airlines for 2021 as:
1. Qantas
2. Qatar Airways
3. Air New Zealand
4. Singapore Airlines
5. Emirates
6. Eva Air
7. Etihad Airways
8. Alaska Airlines ***
9. Cathay Pacific
10. British Airways
