Emirates Airline has once again been named the world’s safest airline by the Hamburg-based Jet Airliner Crash Data Evaluation Centre (JACDEC).
The world’s largest operator of double-decker Airbus A380s – the largest passenger jet in history – has successfully defended its top ranking in a JACDEC survey carried out for aviation magazine Aero International.
Due to pandemic-related slumps in the aviation industry throughout 2021, as well as only a timid resurgence of passenger numbers, past airline accidents had a greater impact on results this time.
Some well-known airlines such as Austrian, Eurowings and Condor didn’t even make it into the European Top 25 due to insufficient passenger-kilometre performance in 2021.
