AirlineRatings.com, the safety and product rating website, has announced Qantas as its safest airline for 2019.

These airlines are standouts in the industry and are at the forefront of safety, innovation and the design and launching of new aircraft said AirlineRatings.com Editor-in-Chief Geoffrey Thomas.

 

“For instance, Australia’s Qantas has been recognized by the British Advertising Standards Association in a test case in 2008 as the world’s most experienced airline.”

 

“It is extraordinary that Qantas has been the lead airline in virtually every major operational safety advancement over the past 60 years and has not had a fatality in the jet era,” said Mr Thomas.

 

“But Qantas is not alone. Long established airlines such as Hawaiian and Finnair have perfect records in the jet era.”
