Thomas further highlighted the minimal safety differences among these top twenty-five airlines, stating, “The gap between Air New Zealand and Qantas is just 1.5 points – it’s remarkably tight.”
In its evaluation process, AirlineRatings.com considers a variety of key factors, including major incidents, recent fatal accidents, checks from aviation authorities and industry organizations, profitability, pioneering safety measures, expert assessments of pilot training, and the age of the airline fleet.
