Sure, consultations with check pilots and aviation experts are key when rating airlines—but there’s a lot more that goes into the mix. The rankings also factor in things like serious incidents over the past two years, fleet age and size, incident and fatality rates, and even the airline’s financial health and profitability. It’s a full-picture assessment that goes beyond just what happens in the cockpit, ensuring only the safest and most reliable carriers make the cut.
