AirAsia Thailand, Bangkok Air, Camair-Co, Orient Thai Airlines, Tajik Air and Blue Wing are few of the 38 airlines which received the lowest airline safety ratings.
This might be a relief for all those who are afraid of traveling on our national carrier or other local airlines. Not being included in the list of world’s unsafest airlines may mean that the national carrier is rigorous about safety inspections, uses navigation technology and adheres to basic practices such as closing all doors before taking off and making sure the plane is heading in the right direction.
“The safety rating for each airline is based on a comprehensive analysis utilising information from the world’s aviation governing body and leading association along with governments and crash data. Each airline has the potential to earn seven stars,” the website read.
The airlines that received a three or lower rating, in alphabetical order, are: Afriqiyah, Air Bagan, AirAsia Thailand, AirAsia Zest, Avia Traffic Company, Bangkok Air, Batik Air, Camair-Co, Citilink, Daallo Airlines, Felix Airways, Fly540, Garuda Indonesia, JetStar Pacific, Kam Air, KalStar Aviation, LAM, Libyan Airlines, Lion Air, Nauru Airlines, Nepal Airlines, NOK Air, Orient Thai Airlines, Polynesian Airlines and Tajik Air.
