Airlines by rating. The best airline in the world
The ever-growing level of safety flights each year brings fruit in the aircraft industry. Even from 1982 to 1991, according to the report of the Interstate Aviation Committee (MAC), the safety index of the Soviet Union was 0.08. In the CIS countries, it reached 0.1 and a little better in the USA - 0.02. The ratio of the number of incidents per 100 thousand flights was taken for the indicator.
Attentive analysis of the causes of tragedies and the safety management of flights brought airfare to the level of confidence from the passengers. The numbers published by IATA in 2014 showed that 4.4 million flights account for 1 incident.
According to the World Fund, from January 2018 to December 2019, more than 20 aircases were recorded, as a result of which more than 700 people died. It is indicated that only civil planes were taken into account with a capacity of more than 14 seats.
To constantly keep passengers in the course of air transportation events, ICAO presented its project - the e-library of the final reports. The portal was designed to conduct safety lessons. With the help of it, you can search for the dates of incident and get acquainted with the report of the Commission.
For all the existence of air routes, only two airlines boast a zero percentage of accidents over the past 50 years. This Australian Quantas company has been operating since 1922, and Finnish Finnair - since 1923. According to JacDec, 22 world airlines were recorded as a whole, during the existence of which serious disasters did not happen.
Annually, the German company JACDEC publishes its own airline safety rating. Its results proceed from a thorough analysis of accidents on board aircraft. A measure on which the ranking is arranged, the safety index is adopted. The default airlines are assigned to 0. The index 0.001 is considered a good indicator without fatal outcomes.It is important to note that the JACDEC Database for Accidents is limited to 30 years. The incidents that happened during the exercises, transportation of goods, testing in the calculation are not taken. Only flights with passengers on board are taken into account. The security analysis takes part 60 largest companies in the world.
So, we present 20 leaders of airline airlines 2018-2019.

In 2018, the Australian Qantas did not enter the top ten, and turned out to be at 13 positions. And the Japan company Japan Airlines improved last year's results and rose from 44 seats by 9.
Russian airlines again did not enter the 20 security. Aeroflot-Russian shifted only one position up (35th place). And Transaero Airlines did not attend participation in Jacdec analysis.
Expert view of Switzerland
According to the experts of the Swiss Agency ATRA, it is not entirely true to the historical report of the accident. In fact, any air transport is subject to external factors and it happens that the chances of survival of passengers are greater dependent on the qualification of the pilot. Therefore, one of the criteria for calculating the safety rating of ATRA is the level of preparation of pilots and dispatchers.
After a long analysis of air incidents and accidents, ATRA brought 15 major flight safety criteria:
- Financial position of the company;
- Passenger seat employment coefficient;
- The number of employees on board and pilots;
- The total number of aircraft kilometers;
- The number of vessels in operation and out of production;
- Average age of acting aircraft;
- Compounding air park (Airbus or Boing);
- The number of aircraft under threat;
- Number of accidents over the past 10 years.
Data for calculation is based on the information of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and the Flight Global Aviakosmic Log.
The ATRA has chosen 94 of the largest airline's financial income. Of these, the first in the ranking and most reliable were Asian Air China, China Southern Airlines Group, American - AMR Corporation, Delta Air Line, Southwest Airlines, United Continental Holdings, US Airways Group, European - Air France KLM Group and International Airlines Group (Statistics 2014).
European program Safa.
In 2004, the European Agency aviation security (EASA) presented its criterion for assessing reliability - the SAFA coefficient. Unlike constructed public ratings, this moment Safa is considered the most reliable indicator of reliability. He was recognized by all experts of world air traffic. Safa is a kind of final assessment of the International Audit of Operational Security (IOSA)
It is worth noting in order to get the IOSA certificate, the company needs to withstand checking more than 1000 points of safety requirements.
The essence of the assignment of the coefficient consists in selective inspection of foreign aircraft landing in the EU, the inspectors of the European Commission. Predict when the check will be checked. The board of the aircraft is undergoing a thorough inspection of 54 points for the technical condition, age of ships and documentation. From the flaws of the vessel, the SAFA coefficient is output.
Subsequently, if the proven planes of one airline are gaining a certain number of penalty points, the company itself is brought into the Black List of the EU. Thus, constant control and improving safety of flights over the EU territory is carried out.
Unfortunately, Safa experts keep their conclusions in closed access. One thing is known than the higher the coefficient of the company, the lower its reliability. The critical threshold is the coefficient of 1.95. The airlines received such a mark enter the red zone and fall under the sight of the careful and regular observation of the European Commission.
Russian companies that have been checking after EASA certification provided their assessments on the security ratio.

it state companyThe base of which is located on the territory of Abu Dhabi International Airport. The development of Emirates Airlines began with a lease of two airliners in 1985. For three years, the airline's profits began to increase rapidly, which made it possible to quickly develop the route network and equip the fleet with the most modern ships.

Lufthansa - Europe's largest airline
The European airline began its existence in the distant 1926. However, only in the 60s, she began to gain momentum and became one of the largest among air carriers.
Today, airlines together with a number of European carriers forms Lufthansa Group. The main hubs of the company are located in Germany. Fleet Lufthansa Group has 636 aircraft.

In addition, this list can change every year, as some companies can develop, while others suffer some difficulties and lose their leading positions. Therefore, to say what the largest airline in the world is not so easy. The analysis affects many indicators, such as the number of aircraft, the annual volume of transportation, the availability of service centers, etc. However, the company's reliability, as well as various bonus programs, is important for passengers, in addition to this information. In any case, it is better to carry out flights with proven airlines, even if the cost of their tickets will be an order of magnitude more expensive. It is not worth saving on your life. It is better to buy tickets in advance, but reliable carriers. Moreover, almost all of the above airlines regularly conduct bonus programs and shares.
The twentieth century and technical progress allowed people to move from one point of light to another in a matter of hours, while earlier this process took a long month, and the travel themselves threatened the mass of dangers. Today everything is different. Thanks to airplanes, a person can cross the ocean with full comfort and be thousands of kilometers from the point of shipment.
