And the world's safest airline is ...


(CNN) -- Flight-phobics, relax -- a list of the world's safest airlines has just been released.

Top of the ranking from AirlineRatings.com of the safest carriers in 2013 is the Australian airline Qantas.

Awarding it a full seven stars, the website cites the airline's fatality-free flying record from the beginning of the jet era in the early 1950s.

Other airlines sharing the seven-star rating and winning a place among the top 10 safest airlines are, in alphabetical order,
  • Air New Zealand
  • All Nippon Airways
  • Cathay Pacific Airways
  • Emirates
  • Etihad Airways
  • Eva Air
  • Royal Jordanian
  • Singapore Airlines
  • Virgin Atlantic

Safest industries

Commercial aviation is one of the most heavily monitored industries in the world and statistically the much-cited comparison bears out: you are much less likely to die in an airplane crash than in a car accident.

Indeed, the number of fatalities last year was at a record low, according to the Aviation Safety Network (ASN).

Many airlines go for years without experiencing significant safety incidents, let alone a crash.

There is thus often little to distinguish the largest and most reliable carriers apart from a safety point of view.

Of the 448 airlines AirlineRatings.com surveys, 137 have a top seven-star rating.

Along with fatality crash records and audits from aviation governing bodies, the website takes into account the quality of the "in-flight product" airlines offer -- including in-flight entertainment, seating and food -- to determine their ranking.

Makes me wonder if Jetstar Airways safety standards is at par with Qantas since they are sister companies. Hayy missed working for JQ.
