Only one I’ve gotten to travel was Alaska Airlines, as I used to live in Seattle, and it was always great- now I live in Texas and sadly don’t get the chance anymore

Dr. Amayun is absolutely correct about Singapore Airlines. It just should not be grouped into the same top ten as airlines that have not had hull losses or fatalities. Btw, Dr. Amayun, were you once with the World Vision Hope Initiative?

Qantas has had no accidents in the modern jet era?

QF1 crash @ Bangkok 23/9/99
QF30 O2 tank explosion enroute 25/7/08
QF72 uncommanded pitch down 7/10/08
QF32 uncontained engine failure 4/11/10

Qantas has had no fatalities or hull losses (since it paid more to fix the aircraft in 1999 than it would have cost to replace it) in the modern jet era. Still a commendable safety record and better than most others – but certainly not squeaky clean as implied.

Correction on my post: Finnair should definitely be on the list of safest airlines.

Finnair should definitely on the last. They have operated continuously since 1923, and they have had no fatal accidents for the last 25 years.

SAS should be out. They have had a string of hijackings and accidents since the late ’40s.

Singapore pilots crashed SQ 006, a Boeing 747-412 into the wrong runway in Taipei in 2000. That accident has been the third most serious airplane accident in Taiwan ever.

@SebS

Emirates just had a take-off occur with the wrong flap settings which resulted in an “overspeed” situation. Happened on 12/20/2021.

the take off sound is incredible, such a shame that this “created pandemic” by governments and it rules keep us from flying all around the world

I always wonder where Ryanair falls within this category. Love it or hate it, I’m not aware of any accidents and, with the number of aircraft it has, all flying short haul and therefore with an awful lot of take-offs and landings, the most critical parts of any flight, it must be up there.
