Although there was a sharp slowdown in air traffic in 2020 due to the Coronavirus pandemic, airlines have continued to work hard to make flights and vehicles increasingly safer. In this regard, on AirlineRatings.com, the airline safety and product review website, a ranking relative to the safest airlines of the world to travel in 2021.
A list that has taken into account very important factors including the age of the vehicles, the accidents that the various airlines have encountered, as well as the actual compliance with the standards and the commitments made with the pilots and flight personnel. Furthermore, the strategy adopted by the airline companies with regard to flight weighed heavily on the score security issue and Covid-19 pandemic so, to give an example, Qatar Airways provided face shields and masks to passengers while Emirates has introduced Covid-19 health insurance and a sanitary kit.
In this case, moreover, AirlineRatings also wanted to recognize the commitment of some low cost airlines who have adopted good practices such as: Air Arabia, Allegiant, EasyJet, Frontier, Jetstar Group, Jetblue, Ryanair, Vietjet, Westjet and Wizz Air.
From the overall analysis, however, it emerged that today the safest company in the world is Qantas, a title that it now holds continuously from 2014 to 2017. Only in 2018 AirlineRatings did not find an overall winner but again, in 2019 and 2020 the flag carrier of Australia regained the scepter.
This is because Qantas guarantees high safety standards, holds the record of absence of air accidents and owns the youngest air fleet. Furthermore, in recent years it has been increasingly attentive to the performance of pilots by guaranteeing them the timeout during the pandemic and a six-day course (with a day of relaxation) before returning the pilot in flight.
In second place in this special ranking is located Qatar Airways, the national airline of Qatar, while in third place there is Air New Zealand, from New Zealand. Then follow to get to the top 10: Singapore Airlines, Emirates, EVA Air, Etihad Airways, Alaska Airlines, Cathay Pacific Airways and British Airways.
