Flying is and remains the safest way to travel. Statistically speaking, a person would have to board an airplane every day for more than 100,000 years to suffer a fatal accident. Nevertheless, there are differences between the world’s airlines. A current ranking by the air portal AirlineRatings.com shows which airlines perform particularly poorly and why.

These are the most unsafe airlines in the world
The AirlineRatings.com portal compares 316 airlines based on various criteria, including service quality, customer satisfaction, and safety. While the ratings for service and comfort are often based on passenger feedback, the safety ranking is based on objective factors. Among other things, it takes into account.

Of the 316 airlines assessed, 260 received the highest rating of seven stars. A further 20 airlines still achieve five or six stars. But things look different at the lower end of the scale: twelve airlines must make do with a single star.
The following airlines only receive one star in the safety ranking:

Aeroflot (Russia)
Precision Air (Tanzania)
Rossiya (Russia)
Ural Airlines (Russia)
US-Bangla Airlines (Bangladesh)
Air Peace (Nigeria)
Capital Airlines (China)
Pakistan International Airlines (Pakistan)
Pobeda (Russia)
UTair (Russia)
Wings Air (Indonesia)
Montenegro Airlines (Montenegro, flight operations discontinued in 2020)

The high number of Russian airlines on this list is particularly striking. One reason for this is that international sanctions make it more difficult to procure spare parts and maintenance measures. However, this problem is hardly relevant for passengers from the EU, as Russian airlines are currently not allowed to use European airspace.
Despite the existing safety differences between airlines, airplanes remain by far the safest means of transportation. The overwhelming majority of airlines meet the highest safety standards. However, if you want to be on the safe side, you should check the airline’s safety ranking before booking.
