For example in the national flag carrier I know (I used to work 5 years in that sector and I am still a licensed pilot) many people were hired and appointed in positions based on political influence, not on competence. It happens less in private companies.
- severino 6y agoBut do we have evidence that privately owned airlines have a smaller record of accidents and incidents than those not?
- AdrianB1 6y agoHard to compare, because not many countries have at the same time government owned airliners and private. In the case I know, the record is flawless for private companies (zero accidents) and 2 crashes for the flag carrier (a relative was part of the crew in one crash). I would not make a general statement based on a single country, but looking for airplane crashes in the past 20 years most involved government owned companies.
