Today (January 8, 2018):\u00a0Top 10: world’s safest airlines that have never had a major accident.<\/strong><\/h5>\n

According to the Aviation Safety Network<\/a>, 2017 was the safest year on record in aviation history, as no fatal accidents with commercial passenger jets occurred (excluding propeller planes and cargo jets). And while USA President Trump took credit for that global\u00a0safety record in one of his (in)famous tweets<\/a>, airline accidents have actually been on a consistent global decline since more than 30 years, thanks to strict regulations and rigorous standards in the aviation industry. That said, some airlines are still better performing than others when it comes to safety standards, and that’s why the Australia-based aviation analysis website\u00a0AirlineRatings.com<\/a>\u00a0released an annual list of the world’s 20 safest carriers, which are standouts in the industry and are at the forefront of safety, innovation, and launching of new aircraft. Airlines that can present an impeccable safety record of zero fatalities in their history are very rare though. Here\u2019s a closer look at\u00a010 major global airlines (listed\u00a0in alphabetical order) that have not had a plane crash in the modern jet era.<\/p>\n
