Worlds safest airlines revealed!

14/09/2011

A highly rated agency have analysed over 40 airlines by judging them on 15 criteria including the age of the airline, the number of cabin crew available, pilot training and the number of accidents that they have been involved in during the last ten years.

British Airways came out on top and were closely followed by Air France-KLM and Lufthansa as being the safest airlines in Europe. US carriers that rated well include American Airlines, Continental Airlines, Delta Airlines and United Airlines.

ATRA, who operate independently, says that the study was carried out to ‘provide the aviation sector with rigorous and transparent information, liable to encourage airlines to track, interpret and discuss any criteria in the organisation contributing to flight safety'.

If you are thinking of jetting off somewhere make sure you buy Travel Insurance before you go away. Buy your travel insurance policy as soon as you have booked your holiday, that way you'll get the benefit of cancellation cover before you go and your travel insurance will be in place ready for your holiday.
