That website (airlineratings.com) claimed to have "the only" airline safety ratings so I took a look, and unfortunately they seem to be completely bogus. I couldn't find one airline that didn't score the maximum on everything, including Ukrainian International Airlines which in my opinion has a very subpar safety standard. Does anyone know of other airline safety ratings?
- DN1010 5y agoSkytrax seems to be the industry standard. Edit: nevermind you said SAFETY ratings
- mustardgreen 5y agoDoes Ukranian Airlines have a bad reputation besides the incident in Tehran? I rode it once, and besides it being a particularly rowdy flight, I found it to be a very strict and safe airline.

What is the pilot training and certification. What is their maintenance schedule? How old are their aircraft? What near misses have they had? Those are the types of questions that have more to do with safety than the experience of riding on a flight.
- jhugo 5y ago> What near misses have they had? And don't forget about the ones that you never heard about due to a lax reporting culture. Turkey is (in)famous in this regard; you only find out about incidents when they're impossible to hide (like their frequent landing mishaps).
- darrenf 5y agoThere are plenty of airlines with ratings far from maximum on that site. Visit https://www.airlineratings.com/safety-rating-tool/ https://www.airlineratings.com/safety-rating-tool/ and sort by the Safety Rating column. Indeed Malaysian Airlines rates only 3 out of 7 https://www.airlineratings.com/ratings/malaysia-airlines/ https://www.airlineratings.com/ratings/malaysia-airlines/
