More than four billion passengers every year, in the air - and to land almost always on the ground. Among the airlines, however, the level of security is different. The front of the Airlines are from Europe and Asia.
Hamburg (dpa) - The Finnish airline Finnair was in the last year, according to experts, the safest Airline in the world. With a risk index of 93,91% Finnair is just in front of Scoot from Singapore and kralbet Norwegian Air Shuttle.
The annual safety ranking by the Hamburg-based flight safety office JACDEC, in cooperation with the aviation magazine Aero International. It was on 3. January, published in Hamburg. Last year's winner, Emirates, reached the fourth place, the Spanish Air Europa's rank 5. The study captures the world's 100 lines with the greatest transport capacity.
In the case of the airlines, from the German-speaking world it was the best case for a place in the front of midfield. At best, the Lufthansa section, with the space 21 and 90,97%, one rank better than in the previous year. The Lufthansa subsidiary Eurowings ended up on place 25, Condor, 41, Austrian to 51 and Swiss on 60. On the last places Airlines from Russia, Ethiopia and Indonesia.
Overall, flying has become safer, although in the worldwide last year, 562 people died in aircraft accidents, to death, - stated in the JACDEC analysis. The were far more than in 2017, when commercial air travel was largely by accident spared and only 40 deaths have been counted.
positive long-term Trend, however, is clear: 25 years Ago, as the air traffic wasn't even in half the volume of today, the death toll twice as high. Statistically speaking, flying has since become four Times safer. "A hundred percent security, there will be in the future, never," said Jan-Arwed Richter of JACDEC. "In the face of the world more than four billion pass passengers per year fly to the safest means of transport ever."
The analysis of all accidents and serious incidents still brings some of the other findings: The most critical phase of flight, the landing, with 35.6 percent of the 315 evaluated incidents. After that, the boot follows with 14 percent. And short flights tend to be travel is riskier than a long flight. You are more likely to be exposed to the potentially dangerous phases of flight, as well as the weather elements close to the ground. And you fly to more often smaller Airports with less sophisticated technical landing and approach AIDS.
the results of The JACDEC rating are shown as a percentage, where the values of the (theoretical) maximum value of 100 percent, guided downward. The assessment is based on the accident history of the airline in the past 30 years, the country-specific environment in which it operates, as well as on specific risk factors of the flight lines.
