Of 60 ranked airlines, here are the ten with the worst safety records, including the number of hull losses since 1983, and how many fatalities they caused: #10 SkyWest Airlines: 3 hull losses; 22 dead #9 South African Airways: 1 hull loss; 159 dead #8 Thai Airways International: 5 hull losses; 309 dead #7 Turkish Airlines: 6 hull losses, 188 dead #6 Saudia: 4 hull losses; 310 dead #5 Korean Air: 9 hull losses; 687 dead #4 GOL Transportes Aéreos: 1 hull loss; 154 dead #3 Air India: 3 hull losses; 329 dead #2 TAM Airlines: 6 hull losses; 336 dead #1 China Airlines: 8 hull losses; 755 dead Hmmm ... this would be more informative if it were ranked by deaths in proportion to total fleet size or miles flown. China lost a lot of hulls, but Korean Air seems to have killed a lot of people in proportion to its size. Saudia may be even more dangerous than S.K., a rather small fleet but yet 310 dead. |

Takeoffs and landings are the most dangerous parts of a flight, although stuff DOES happen en-route sometimes. That Air France plane that nosedived into the drink off Brazil a few years ago is a good example - and if those Dreamliner fires keep happening we may see more disasters en-route. Anyway, this is why statistics often doesn't really tell you much. Korean Air had a lot of deaths ... but likely they flew lots of trans-pacific routes and thus racked-up vast numbers of miles. Saudia ... as best I know it's more "regional" (if you include europe as geographically proximate). Less air miles, but more take-offs. |
