10 safest airlines unveiled
GENEVA: Air France-KLM, British Airways and Lufthansa are the safest airlines in Europe, according to a study ranking the "10 safest airlines" by the Air Transport Rating Agency (ATRA) released Monday.

The safest US-based airlines are AMR Corporation, Continental Airlines, Delta Airlines, Southwest Airlines, United Airlines and US Airways, while the safest from Asia is Japan Airlines, it said, without giving a ranking within the top 10.

To obtain this classification, the first of its kind, ATRA examined publicly available information on 15 criteria, such as the average age of the aircraft used or the homogeneity of the fleet, it said.

The agency explained that to understand airline safety, one needed not only to look at accident figures, but also "technical, human, organisational and external" elements.

"Even though the European Union publishes a 'blacklist' of dangerous airlines, there exists a real difference in safety between the other airline companies," ATRA added.

Trying to take off from a closed runway is not a good look on an airline's CV.

That was an isolated instance, could even be an honest mistake.

The Govt always trumpet our global competitiveness using Beri's ranking. Its easy to kelong them with so many around. SIA better buy a subscription with ATRA. Ask the Japs, they perceived JAL to be an unsafe airline compared to ANA. Flown on ANA its easy to see why, everything by the book. Trundled to the extreme end of the runway for take-off, flew the widest arc my GPS ever captured for landing. Btw, would you step into a brand new plane by Garuda over SQ?

Maybe this is the reason why, from the 1st sentence.

Please lah SIA is not in the top 10 in the WORLD.

The top ten airlines 2011 (2009 data) from the holistic safety profiles are (by alphabetic order):
Air France-KLM
AMR Corporation (American Airlines, American Eagles)
British Airways
Continental Airlines
Delta Airlines
Japan Airlines
Lufthansa
Southwest Airlines
United Airlines
US Airways

here's another take on the subject:

While European and American airlines rarely feature in the top 10 rankings for best customer service, airlines from these regions have dominated a new list of the world's safest carriers.
A report by the Air Transport Rating Agency (ATRA) found that the safest carriers in the world were mainly those based in Europe and the United States.
No Australian or New Zealand airlines featured in the top 10.
Air France-KLM, British Airways and Lufthansa are the safest airlines in Europe.
The safest US-based airlines are AMR Corporation, Continental Airlines, Delta Airlines, Southwest Airlines, United Airlines and US Airways, while the safest from Asia is Japan Airlines, it said, without giving a ranking within the top ten.
To obtain this classification, the first of its kind, ATRA examined publicly available information on criteria such as the average age of the aircraft used or the homogeneity of the fleet, it said.
The agency explained that to understand airline safety, one needed not only to look at accident figures, but also "technical, human, organisational and external" elements.
"Even though the European Union publishes a 'blacklist' of dangerous airlines, there exists a real difference in safety between the other airline companies," ATRA added.
The agency believed the EU's list was a good start on rating airline safety, but said the list led to the belief that all airlines not on the 'blacklist' offered the same level of safety, which was not the case.
According to its website, the Geneva-based agency says it is independent of all "airlines, manufacturers, regulatory authorities, trade unions and not-for-profit organisations" in performing its aviation risk assessment.
The top 10 list is in contrast to the annual Skytrax survey that ranks airlines based on customer service. None of the airlines in the Skytrax top 10 made the ATRA's top 10 safety list.

I have not flown SIA ever since they continued to fly when Qantas grounded their A380s.

In the end Qantas was proven right and SIA looked like they gambled with the engines.

No SIA for me anymore. My life is too precious for me while its just another statistics for them.

Ouch. Looks like they will never live it down.

Not one mention of this survey in the Shitty Times or MediaCock.
You can bet your ass that if SQ made it into the survey, they would be giving it FRONT PAGE coverage.
