Wellness is the best these days, so what is the safest airline in the world?
A new report from the world’s only website dedicated exclusively to air travel safety has named Qantas Airways of Australia as the safest airline in the world for 2021
Qantas topped the annual list of AirlineRatings.com, a ranking of 385 carriers on the following factors: accidents and serious incidents; audits of governing and operating bodies; government audits; leading industry safety initiatives; and navy age. AirlineRatings.com calls itself the ‘industry standard’ for safety ratings, and uses a seven-star system to notify passengers from 195 countries of aviation.
