Air New Zealand has once again captured the title of the safest airline in the world.
The world’s safest airlines for 2024
“Our top 25 safest airlines [in] 2024 are always at the forefront of safety innovation, operational excellence, and the launching of new more advanced aircraft,” including the Airbus A350, the Boeing 787, and the Boeing 777-9 aircraft, AirlineRatings.com Editor-in-Chief Geoffrey Thomas said in a statement.
To determine the safest airlines, the group looked at several categories, including any crashes over the last five years, any serious incidents over the past two years, aviation industry audits, government audits, the age of a carrier’s fleet, and the training their crew received.
While the competition was close between the two top airlines, Thomas said Air New Zealand edged out Qantas thanks to the Australian carrier’s fleet age.
When it comes to airlines in the United States, only Alaska Airlines made the top 10, coming in at No. 10. Hawaiian Airlines, American Airlines, and United Airlines each made the list as well, coming in at No. 21, No. 22, and No. 25, respectively. That’s a much poorer showing than last year when Alaska Airlines, Hawaiian Airlines, United Airlines, American Airlines, and Delta Air Lines all made the top 20.
