Airline safety ratings and their ongoing transformation: an explanation of the process and the reasons behind the changes.
==========================================================
Air travel continues to be the safest mode of transportation, and a key factor contributing to this safety is the rigorous evaluation of airlines by Airline Ratings. This respected organisation's safety ratings are considered the gold standard for travellers seeking a secure flying experience.
Founded in 2012 by Geoffrey Thomas and his wife Christine, Airline Ratings' mission is to provide travellers with the information they need to feel informed and confident about airline safety. The ratings are based on real-world performance and strict criteria, including pilot-related incidents, fatal accidents in the last 10 years, and international safety audits.
The 1-7 star safety rating system for airlines by AirlineRatings.com is a comprehensive evaluation of multiple factors related to an airline's operational safety and regulatory compliance. Criteria such as accident history, regulatory audits, fleet age, and whether the airline is banned in certain countries are all taken into account. The system also incorporates expert assessments of safety performance, incident records, and adherence to international safety standards to assign a rating from 1 (lowest) to 7 (highest) stars.
In the coming year, Airline Ratings will be checking and updating ratings more frequently throughout the year. Additionally, airline policies around onboard lithium batteries, safety videos, and the use of advanced safety monitoring tools may be considered in future updates to the safety rating system.
Many large, well-known airlines have moved to better safety practices, including the IOSA (International Air Transport Association Operational Safety Audit) certification, due to AirlineRatings. For media or airline enquiries, contact Sharon Petersen at sharon.petersen@our website.
The number of stars earned by an airline depends on its safety record and performance in these areas. Airlines with higher star ratings from AirlineRatings.com are often noted to have stronger safety records, fewer incidents, or better management practices, while low-rated airlines often have critical safety concerns or lack compliance with international standards.
Airline Ratings aims to keep air travel safe and to work closely with airline partners to promote safety, support best practices, and honour the work being done in commercial aviation. By providing a reliable and trusted safety rating system, Airline Ratings is making a significant contribution to the ongoing safety and security of air travel.
