Which airline is the safest airline? This is an alphabetical list of the safest airlines based on air crash fatalities.

Which airline is the safest? Air crash fatalities are one way of assessing the safety of an airline. The following alphabetical list shows the airlines that have had no fatalities from an air crash between 1970 and 2005. This list is not a recommendation of these airlines, but provides basic information for the concerned air traveller. This list may not be exhaustive.

Considering air crash fatalities Qantas is still the safest Australian airline to fly with in the region, but the reputation of such airlines as Virgin Blue and the Qantas alternative airline in Australia JetStar put them in equal place for safety to fly internally in Australia and Oceania.

Any airline started after 1970 has their start date listed in brackets.

The following airlines have at least one passenger aeroplane in their fleet.

Flying is safer than driving a car and yet more people are frightened of flying. I had a friend who would not even go to the airport to see a friend fly overseas. She was terrified of everything to do with aeroplanes? Do you feel safe flying? Which airline is your favourite?
