Transavia Airlines	Netherlands			Many people first of all turn their attention to the price of a ticket. However, when comparing the pricing policy of several aviation companies, you need to figure out what this or that cost is ultimately made up of. A flight that is notable for its low price may not include a full lunch or dinner on board the liner. An additional markup in most cases provides not only good nutrition, but also implies a large selection of children's, dietary, diabetic or vegetarian menus. In addition to all this, you can choose the ingredients for cooking dishes from the menu. For example, exclude fatty foods, flour products, or give preference to dishes traditional cuisines peace. The class of the intended service also affects the cost of the ticket. Now there are three main types of service during the flight: business, economy and luxury. The price of these tickets can vary significantly, despite the same route. For those looking to save money Additional services, and the quality of the flight is not so important, economy class is fine. However, this kind of flight can rarely be called comfortable. The ideal option in this case would be the selection of traffic. It is worth paying attention to offers from several companies. Many offer various discounts for couples, students, tour groups and seasonal. It is better not to immediately buy a ticket for the first airline that comes across, it is much more reasonable and correct to carefully study several possible options at once. For starters, you should pay attention to the possibility of returning tickets. This service varies from company to company. Someone accepts a refund with deduction of most of the ticket price, while others return almost the entire cost of the purchased ticket. The degree of serviceability of the liner and the reliability of the company are the main factors that you should pay attention to during departure. Most mistakenly believe that it is worth giving preference only to trusted companies. But far from always a long life in the field air transportation is an indicator of the quality and safety of flights. The plane is the most important element that should arouse your greatest interest. If there is a choice between an old aircraft and a new model, do not hesitate to give preference to the newest airliners. Also, do not be lazy, look at the Internet, look at flight statistics, airline news. Check out world airline rating whether there is a company on whose plane you are going to fly. Many tourists choose budget airlines and low-cost airlines among the variety of options. There are two reasons for this: a small budget or the desire to save money on a flight and spend more during the holiday itself. In our country, low-cost airlines are not yet very common, but still ahead, but in the rest of the world they are very popular. Of course, this option does not provide for amenities: the seats in the cabin are hard, there is a minimum of free space, food and drinks can only be bought for an additional fee, and sometimes it’s impossible at all. You can buy a low-cost ticket mainly via the Internet. In doing so, it is worth paying attention to several aspects. First of all, make sure that the price of the flight is indicated together with the tax, otherwise the ticket may cost more than in a private airline. The discount can be only one way, and the return ticket will cost many times more. It is best to come to the landing in advance, as it happens that you do not know your seat number before departure. A ticket for a low-cost airline flight has a baggage weight limit. Read all the information about it carefully so that you do not have to pay extra. When booking via the Internet, study everything that is written in your ticket, all the conditions, even the most insignificant ones. Pay attention to the checkboxes that are set by default, they may be fraught with an additional fee. Specify in advance the place of landing of the plane (most often such planes land at secondary airports) in order to think about how you will get to the hotel.

The choice of airlines in the world is quite diverse, and everyone will be able to choose the right option for their taste and budget - and most importantly, choose the best one from those offered by various air transportation agencies in Runet.

The ever-increasing level of aviation safety every year is bearing fruit in the aviation industry. Back in the period from 1982 to 1991, according to the report of the Interstate Aviation Committee (IAC), the flight safety index of the Soviet Union was 0.08. In the CIS countries, it reached 0.1 and a little better in the USA - 0.02. The indicator was taken as the ratio of the number of accidents per 100,000 flight hours.

A careful analysis of the causes of the tragedies and the management of flight safety have brought air travel to the level of confidence on the part of passengers. Figures published by IATA in 2014 showed that there was 1 accident per 4.4 million flights.

According to World Foundation, from January 2018 to December 2019, more than 20 air accidents were recorded, as a result of which more than 700 people died. It is indicated that only civil aircraft with a capacity of more than 14 seats were taken into account.

In order to keep passengers up to date with the developments in air travel, ICAO introduced its project - the Digital Library of Final Reports. The portal was developed in order to conduct security lessons. With it, you can search by date of incidents and read the report of the commission.

In the entire history of the airways, only two airlines can boast of zero accident rates over the past 50 years. This is the Australian company Quantas - has been operating since 1922, and the Finnish Finnair - since 1923. According to JACDEC, a total of 22 global airlines are registered, during the existence of which there have been no serious accidents.

Every year, the German company JACDEC publishes its own airline safety rating. Its results come from a thorough analysis of accidents on board aircraft. The measure by which the rating is built is the flight safety index. New airlines are assigned a value of 0 by default. An index of 0.001 is considered a good non-fatal score.

It is important to note that the JACDEC accident database is limited to 30 years. Accidents that happened during exercises, transportation of goods, tests are not taken into account. Only flights with passengers on board are taken into account. 60 largest companies of the world take part in the security analysis.

So, here are the top 20 airlines in terms of flight safety in 2018-2019.

Place on the list	Airline	A country	Safety index
1	cathay pacific airway	China, Hong Kong	0,006
2	Emirates	UAE	0,007
3	Eva Air	Taiwan	0,008
4	Qatar Airways	Qatar	0,009
5	Hainan Airlines	China	0,01
6	KLM	Netherlands	0,01
7	Air New Zealand	New Zealand	0,011
8	Etihad Airways	UAE	0,013

18	british airways	Great Britain	0,024
19	Sichuan Airlines	China	0,025
20	Air Berlin	Germany	0,025

In 2018, the Australian Qantas did not enter the top ten, and ended up in 13th position. And the Japanese company Japan Airlines improved last year's results and rose from 44th place to 9th.

Russian airlines are again not included in the top 20 in terms of safety. Aeroflot-Russian moved only one position up (35th place). And Transaero Airlines did not participate in the JACDEC analysis at all.

Switzerland's expert view

According to experts from the Swiss agency ATRA, it is not entirely correct to rely on the historical summary of aircraft accidents. In fact, any air transport is subject to external factors and it happens that the chances of survival of passengers are more dependent on the skill of the pilot. Therefore, one of the criteria for calculating the safety factor of the ATRA rating is the level of training of pilots and controllers.

After a long analysis of air incidents and accidents, ATRA has deduced 15 main flight safety criteria:

The financial position of the company;
Occupancy rate of passenger seats;
Number of employees on board and pilots;
The total number of mileage of the aircraft;
Number of ships in operation and out of production;
Average age of active aircraft;
Constituent air fleet (Airbus or Boeing);
Number of aircraft at risk;
Number of accidents in the last 10 years.

The calculation data is based on information from the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and the aerospace magazine Flight Global.

For its consideration, ATRA selected the 94 largest airlines in terms of financial income. Of these, the first in the ranking and the most reliable were Asian Air China, China Southern Airlines Group, American - AMR Corporation, Delta Air Line, Southwest Airlines, United Continental Holdings, US Airways Group, European - Air France KLM Group and International Airlines Group (statistics 2014).

European SAFA program

In 2004 the European Agency aviation security(EASA) presented its criterion for assessing reliability - the SAFA coefficient. In contrast to the replicated public ratings, on this moment SAFA is considered the most reliable indicator of reliability. It was recognized by all experts of the world air traffic. SAFA is a kind of final assessment of the International Operational Safety Audit (IOSA)

It is worth noting that in order to obtain an IOSA certificate, a company must pass a test of more than 1000 points of flight safety requirements.

The essence of assigning a coefficient is a selective check of foreign aircraft landing in the EU by European Commission inspectors. It is impossible to predict when the audit will take place. The board of the aircraft is subjected to a thorough inspection of 54 points for the technical condition, age of the vessels and documentation. From the shortcomings of the vessel, the SAFA coefficient is just derived.

Subsequently, if the checked aircraft of one airline gain a certain number of penalty points, then the company itself is blacklisted by the EU. Thus, continuous management and improvement of flight safety over the territory of the EU is carried out.

Unfortunately, SAFA experts keep their conclusions in the public domain. One thing is known, the higher the coefficient of the company, the lower its reliability. A coefficient of 1.95 is considered a critical threshold. Airlines that have received such a mark are included in the red zone and fall under the scope of careful and regular monitoring by the European Commission.

Russian companies that have been tested after EASA certification have provided their assessments of the safety factor.

Flight safety. Documentary

Values below 0.4 were received by aircraft carriers " Ural Airlines”, “Siberia Airlines”, “Aeroflot”.

TOP budget companies in terms of flight safety from the aviation portal Airline Ratings

The portal is rated on a seven-star system. Each star is assigned for certain indicators, such as the number and nature of incidents, the quality of staff and service.

449 airlines take part in the rating. After the stars are set, Airline Ratings ranks the top and worst carriers. The resulting list of the safest companies in the world is not much different from the opinion of the German JACDEC and other experts.

But the top budget companies (low-cost airlines) will definitely please future passengers. So here are the winners of the category:

The top unsafe carriers in 2019 included companies from Indonesia, Nepal and Suriname. They got 1 or 0 stars:

The presence of an IOSA certificate - if it is, 2 stars are awarded immediately;
Is there an airline on the EU black list;
Are there any reported deaths in the last 10 years;
FAA clearance to fly to the USA;
Which of the ICAO aviation security criteria is used by the country in which the airline is located.

quality of service on board;
meals during the flight;
cabin comfort;
the level of work of baggage services;
ticket price.

The absolute leader in terms of security and service, according to The West Australian, was the Australian company Qantas. As the editors of the magazine write, over the 95 years of its existence, it has outperformed its competitors and approached the standard of the world of air travel.

10 safest airlines in the world

It is followed by American Airlines (USA) and the Dutch KLM. In total, 137 airlines scored the maximum score in the safety rating, among which almost all of them are from the JACDEC list. But few have received the highest star of service, mainly Asian and Middle Eastern corporations, such as Etihad, Emirates, Qatar.

The magazine also added a list of dubious or unsafe carriers: Indonesian - Lion Air, Batik Air, Wings Air, Xpress Air, Trans Nusa and African - Bluewing Airline.

Russian Aeroflot received the highest mark for flight safety and an average score for service.
