World’s Safest Airline: Singapore Airlines Boeing787 Dreamliner 03/06

Singapore Airlines was another top-rated flier- here economy-class seats on the Boeing 787 Dreamliner are shown. Last year was statistically the safest for flying since 1945.

Commercial aviation is one of the most heavily monitored industries in the world and statistically the much-cited comparison bears out: you are much less likely to die in an airplane crash than in a car accident. Indeed, the number of fatalities last year was at a record low, according to the Aviation Safety Network (ASN). Many airlines go for years without experiencing significant safety incidents, let alone a crash. There is thus often little to distinguish the largest and most reliable carriers apart from a safety point of view.
