Lufthansa Report Abuse
It is the flag carrier of Germany and owns Swiss, Austrian Airlines, Air Dolmiti, Brussels airlines and bmi.

Whilst overall Lifthansa is a good airline, I would never fly them between Europe and Sth Africa, as they use old 747-400 aircraft with cramped seats and no entertainment system. Within Europe they are pretty good apart from being rather limited in the service they offer

I currently live in Canada and when I fly to my native country back home i only use Lufthansa (not Air Canada, even if Air Canada's service is ok, but food is simply north-american crap), it's unlikely at least in Europe there is any other company better than Lufthansa. It's very reliable, its food is as good as it can get, it's punctual (German, right ?) and extremely efficient (German again). Flight personnel is very polite and careful with passengers. Austrian Airlines would be close to Lufthansa, qualitywise, but their prices sky-rocket. All in all, even if British Airways is better value for the money, Lufthansa still wins the game. It's just the best. If all European companies would have the same standard, it would just be great, maybe somewhere in the future Lufthansa would be able to buy all European carriers (joking, LOL....or not)

I have always been very happy with Lufthansa's performance. And the staff is very aware of there passangers and safety rules.

Lufthansa's safety record might not be as flawless as the one from Qantas. But considering the size of the airline and the quality of the pilots (I'd say Lufthansa has one of the best pilots worldwide) I would consider Lufthansa to be at least in Europe Nr.1 in terms of safety. Lufthansa is also very wealthy and doesn't have the need to cut costs on maintainance or pilot training.

Tap Portugal (1945) Report Abuse
In 65 years in service, this air company had only one accident with fatalities. This occurred in 1977, and was a pilot mistake. The plane was trying to land in heavy rain and after two unsuccessful attempts the captain decided to try another time. They touched down too late and overran the runway which, at the time, was only 1600 metres long. Now a days, most of the pilots are ex-Air Force officers, with over 20/25 years of experience.

Singapore Airlines Report Abuse
41 points - added 14 years ago by guest - 1 comment
Comments:
Even if it is a great airline(with very expensive food), it has two crashes. 26 March 1991 — Singapore Airlines Flight 117 was hijacked by Pakistani militants en route to Singapore, where it was stormed by the Singapore Special Operations Force. All of the hijackers were killed in the operation, with no fatalities amongst the passengers and crew. 31 October 2000 — Singapore Airlines Flight 006 operated by a Boeing 747-400, crashed at Chiang Kai-shek International Airport (now Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport) in Taiwan killing 83 people aboard and injuring 71 people after the plane took off on a closed runway and hit construction equipment. This occurred during the heavy rain caused by Typhoon Xangsane. SQ006 was the first fatal crash of a Singapore Airlines aircraft and the first fatal crash of the Boeing 747-400.

Extremely cheap compared to other airlines and trust me or not the pilots are so expert that they can fly the plane and land safely even if they are completely drunk. Just look at the accident and fatality rate, even if most of the air-crafts are old and almost wrecked there are significantly low accidents compared to others.

I would hardly call a Concorde pilot "inexperienced", there are far less safe airlines that are above this airline. So instead of voting down AirFrance perhaps people should vote down other airlines. Statistically Air France is 4X safer than paki international airlines and yet look how far up the page they are!
Added 13 years ago by guest, -1 points Vote + to improve this comment's ranking Vote - to decrease this comment's ranking
Air France "claimed" that a 20cm thin strip of metal on the runway caused their concorde to crash. Hard to believe considering that they had they tried to hide other factors such as an inexperienced pilot, and overfilling the fuel tank. Planes are built to withstand such small pieces of debris on runways. They simply have had too many major crashes to be considered safe.

I think people need to get real; this is AirFrance we are talking about. El Al has been voted safer, no offence but I mean really? Lets go through the accidents, Concorde 2000 - this could have happened to a BA Concorde as well and wasn't AF fault. The A340 at Toronto 2005 - this was due to poor weather and had nothing to do with the mechanics of the aircraft. A330 2009 - This was due to faulty pitot tubes fitted by Airbus. I would have no problem flying with AirFrance if someone gave me a ticket with them tomorrow; in fact AF is my no. 1 choice when flying to France.

I've read about too many Air France accidents to want to fly on their aircraft. The last accident was less than a year ago (June 1st, 2009) with a 100% total loss of life. Air France still has no idea what occured to call the incident and they're still flying the same model of aircraft. Unless this airliner is your pride and joy...go somewhere else.

Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) Report Abuse
This airline is almost broke but has never compromised with safety to cut back on costs, probably owing to it's being majority owned by the states of Sweden, Denmark and Norway. In the last 30 years they have had only one accident with deadly outcome, Milan 2001. In the investigation that followed it emerged that the Italian tower had provided the SAS crew with the wrong information. Several officials from the airport staff were later sentenced for causing the accident.

I knew someone who worked there on the corporate side of things. They have some of the most rigorous inspecting practices in the world. Every plane goes through a periodic inspection where the entire aircraft is stripped down, taken apart, right down to the frame, inspected and then rebuilt. I wonder how many carriers do that for their aircraft.

Air Canada has had very few hiccups over the years. When they just got the B-767 the ground crew hadnt been trained in metric yet which was a flaw on AC's part, but the Captain managed to glide a 767 to an abandoned air strip and everyone walked away. As far as I know AC has never has a 100% fatal accident. There have been deaths yes, but not 100% dead.

Airline accidents are not the result of one thing or one persons fault. Have you ever heard about swiss cheese theory? In the KLM case the action of the pilot was just one of the holes which lined up and resulted in the disaster. We can only hope that KLM learned from that incident and plugged as many of them as possible.

The captain mentioned above was in a difficult situation. Because of terror and bad weather the working hours of the cabin crew would run out. Trade unions are not flexible, as we know. So he tried to take off as quickly as possible. - And that was the result.

The one who posted the 1st comment is one of those IDIOTS just like the Capt. of that KLM flight. I mean common, all airline employees make mistakes that ends up good some times, but also bad.

Southwest (1971) Report Abuse

Southwest is THE safest airline in the world statistically. Southwest west has flown more flights and passengers than any other airline in history and yet not had a single fatal accident. Do Southwest a favour... vote them up.

No one seems to give Southwest a safety credit at all. I've only heard one one death related to SWA and the person was in a passing car on a highway. SWA has had two runway overruns (overruns are more common than you think with all airliners). Other than that all I've heard of was a successful emergency landing after loss of cabin pressure. I'd trust these guys. They have great mechanics on staff and until someone crashes a Southwest jet, I'll be flying them thank you vey much.

Air Transat (1987) Report Abuse
1 point - added 14 years ago by josephling67 - 1 comment
Comments:
I have no idea why people are giving Air Transat such a bad wrap. This airline has only ever had one incident and it was 100% survivable and involved starvation of fuel. The pilots followed ever procedure necessary to ensure the aircraft landed safely. I would fly with them because I have faith that Air Transat was smart enoguh to train all their pilots to do just as the pilot of thier only incident did.

you failed to mention that Qantas pilots are one of the best if not the best train commercial pilots in the world ,with numerous airline using Qantas train pilots, the service may have droped but at least you get to your destination and in safe hands and i would say would put it in my books number one.

The only African airline that wasn't put on the black list? I know Royal Air Maroc has never been on it and I don't think Egypt Air has. I don't think South African Airways has either, maybe during partide?
