Default Worlds most dangerous airlines

Noted this on News.com.au
http://www.news.com.au/travel/galler...5540242?page=1
Do tend to note that they class China airlines as one of the dangerous airlines, yet put a picture of China Eastern??

Trust News Ltd. to post something like that

Thai Airways #9???? Please


From the comment about PR it sounds like they included terror attacks it the data I was under the assumption that acts of terror weren't counted in official accident figures.

Someone posted this article on my Facebook the other day, to which I disagreed to viciously.

It astounds me that the article only picks on Asian, African and other non-Western airlines, and no one else. Would I be correct that our legacy American carriers like American Airlines, statistically, should be up there as well as some European carriers?


It's disappointing that the media in general doesn't deserve my attention any longer.

The article also looks at an airline's total safety record and doesn't recognise those airlines who may have had a poor record in the past but have gone ahead in leaps and bounds lately. China Airlines is one that comes to mind in this regard, listed on the article at no. 2.

If I am not mistaken the American legacy carriers flies significantly more sectors due to the size of their networks. As such the 'accident rate' would be smaller than another carrier which has the same number of accidents but fewer departures or sectors
