World's Most Dangerous Airlines!

Despite suffering two major aviation disasters in 2014, Malaysia Airlines has not made a list of the world’s most dangerous airlines.

Daily Mail reports that the airline, in fact, scored five out of a possible seven stars for its safety record from AirlineRatings.com.

AirAsia, which suffered a massive crash in late December, on the other hand only scored between 2 and 3 stars for three of its regional subsidiaries – Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines.

According to Yahoo, of the 449 airlines surveyed, 149 received a seven-star rating, while almost 50 received three or less.

Tara Air, Nepal

Airlines that received a rating of between two and three stars, include

Zambezi Helicopter Co, Zimbabwe

fastjet, Tanzania

TAAG Angolan Airlines, Angola

VietJet Air, Vietnam

fly540, Kenya

As AirlinesRatings points out, there is no doubt that 2014 was a particularly bad year for airline safety with some of the most tragic and bizarre incidents in modern history. All in all there were 21 commercial accidents with 986 fatalities, which is much higher than the 10-year average.

However, the world’s airlines carried a record 3.3 billion passengers on 27 million flights.
