Yes SQ have one fatal accident n hull loss and its fully owned subsidiary Silkair also had a fatal plane crash. But surprise to see that Qantas is not amongst the top 10 as it didn't have any fatal accidents although few aircraft incidents in its very long history as compared to Emirates etc.

Yes, SQ seems to be weighed down by the one crash with 83 fatalities. Not quite sure how the index is calculated, as we have Lufthansa with one accident, with 2 fatalities ranking better than Qantas. Perhaps the latter's relative recent 380 incident after takeoff from SIN pushed them down.

I am surprised to see JAL is lower than Air France. JAL haven't had a fatality or hull loss since the early to mid 80's. In the 80's, 90's & 2000's Air France have had a number of fatal incidents and hull losses.
Makes you wonder how they work out these figures.

SQ had the fatal incident in 2000 but nothing since then and I thought was one of the safest airlines in the world.

Originally posted by hviswanathan View PostAir France being 41 does not make any sense. What about AF447? Asiana at 46 (Asiana 214???) higher than Korean Air?

And AF also has had quite a bad record in the past 15 years or so - Toronto, AF447, Concorde. I too am surprised it's higher than JAL.

Originally posted by CarbonMan View PostI think their a380 incident in SIN recently pulled their score down. Again, I'm speculating on how the index does the scoring - #crashes, #fatalities and proximity of time of last incident.
