Emirates airline disaster. Emirates Airlines is investigating an incident with an Airbus A380 at Domodedovo

Among the 12 companies with an impeccable reputation (the highest reliability index is 0.00) there are several "veterans" - founded in 1922 Qantas Airways Finnair (1923), cathay pacific (1946), All Nippon Airways(1953). Over the past 34 years (JACDEC, which investigates accidents during air travel, has been keeping its own statistics since 1973), these companies have not had a single accident.

A German company can boast of an accident-free reputation (not a single disaster in all the years of its existence) Air Berlin, British Virgin Atlantic Airways, an Irish discounter company Ryanair, young Arab airlines Emirates and Quatar Airways.

Among other companies, eminent "Europeans" showed themselves well: british airways (the company has recorded 2 significant incidents and the last 30 years have passed without disasters) and Lufthansa(3 accidents and 13 years without incident).

The only Russian airline included in the Top 50 Aeroflot ranked 41st in the rating and received a score of 0.57. Moreover, the countdown has been conducted since 1992, when the main and, in fact, uncontested state air carrier became an independent airline. Since that time, 10 accidents have occurred with Aeroflot aircraft, total the death toll in which amounted to 182 people. However, the airliners of this company have been flying without incident for the last 5 years.

The largest number of accidents (12) was recorded in Philippine Airlines.

The largest plane crash with the highest number of victims occurred with the aircraft of the company Japan Airlines August 12, 1985, when a Boeing 747-SR crashed into Mount Ogura, 100 km from Tokyo. Due to improper repairs, 520 people died, after which several mechanics and engineers committed suicide.

The airline closes the Top-50 Turkish Airlines(estimate - 3.49): she had 10 major accidents, the largest of which in 1974 claimed the lives of 346 people.

Among the safest aircraft - Boeing 777: none of the 600 cars of this model produced since 1994 are listed in the accident statistics.

In general, according to Aero International, the results can be called encouraging: over the past year, the largest airlines have not had any significant accidents. According to the magazine's experts, control is being strengthened, the so-called "flight bans", applied not only in the EU countries, but throughout the world, have become a formidable weapon. Globalization also plays a positive role, thanks to which large air alliances equally must maintain a high level of safety.

These are the 60 most top airlines peace. Even if the airline is at the bottom of the list, it still means the highest level of reliability.

Among Russian airlines, only 2 are Transaero (number 23) and Aeroflot (number 37). Now (with the departure of Transaero) there is already one left - it's a pity ...

Airline Reliability Rating

The Aviation Herald portal clarifies that the incident at Domodedovo occurred on September 10, but it became known about it only now.

According to an industry resource, the pilot Airbus aircraft A380, flying from Dubai to Moscow, made a mistake while landing. The A380 liner, which is considered the largest passenger aircraft in the world, approached the ground to a height of 120 m at a rate of 600 m. After that, the aircraft began to gain altitude, and then went into the second circle. The pilots again failed to land it, so the liner went on another circle. He managed to sit down only on the third attempt. None of the passengers were hurt.

Emirates confirmed the incident to Reuters. The airline stressed that the flight is being checked. They declined to give details, citing an ongoing investigation in the Emirates. According to the agency, the Civil Aviation Authority of the UAE (Civil Aviation Authority, GCAA), considered the incident "serious".

Incident with the world's largest passenger liner The A-380 on approach to Domodedovo on September 10 could have been the result of the actions of the pilots or a technical malfunction, a source familiar with the investigation told Interfax.

“On September 10, an Emirates A-380 aircraft critically descended to 120 meters before landing at Domodedovo, and then left for an additional circle. However, an analysis of the work of air traffic controllers showed that their actions, as well as the state technical means controls were within the normal range. Dispatchers did not make mistakes, ”said the agency’s interlocutor.

He said that two main versions of what happened are being considered.

“Among the main versions, both the actions of the pilots, the correctness of which has yet to be assessed, and the technical condition of the aircraft are considered. The investigation will show which of these reasons could provoke a critical descent of the aircraft, ”the source said.

He noted that the crew of the liner did not report any problems to air traffic controllers. “The controllers did not receive any malfunction signals or requests for help from the pilots. At the post-flight interview, they also claimed that the flight took place normally, ”the source clarified.

According to him, the crew did not obey the commands of the dispatchers to adhere to a height of 500 meters and allowed the fall to 150-120 meters.

The Russian airlines Transaero and Aeroflot were included in the ranking of the 60 safest carriers in the world, with Transaero immediately taking 15th place, ahead of such airlines as TAP Portugal, Swiss, KLM and Alitalia.

The German bureau JACDEC has been rating safe carriers for almost 40 years. However, this year the list has undergone dramatic changes, as the compilers began to analyze the safety of airlines in a new way. If earlier experts took into account only the number of fatal accidents, correlating them with the age of the company, now all incidents with the carrier's aircraft over the past 10 years are taken into account.

As a result, last year's leader Australian airline Qantas in the new rating rolled back immediately to the 11th line. The “blame” incident with the Airbus A380 aircraft, which happened in November 2010: then, due to a fire in the engine, the liner, on board of which there were 433 passengers and 26 crew members, was forced to make an emergency landing in Singapore. Because of this incident, airlines around the world banned the flights of the A380 liners for several days, and Qantas spent 50 million euros to repair the giant machine.

Japan is now the safest airline in the world All Nippon Airways. Second place went to the Finnish airline Finnair- thus, this carrier has become the safest airline in Europe. The last Finnair plane crash, which has been flying since 1923 (only British Airways and Dutch KLM is older), occurred on November 8, 1963 - on the way to Mariehamn ( Åland Islands) crashed the liner DC-3. In that crash, 22 passengers and crew died, two passengers and a flight attendant survived.

Following Finnair in the ranking are such airlines as Cathay Pacific Airways(Hong Kong), Etihad Airways(UAE), Hainan Airlines(China), jet blue airways(USA), Emirates(UAE) and virgin blue(Australia).

The second European carrier to be in the top ten safest was the German airberlin(9th place). Now it is one of the youngest EU airlines, which was originally founded in the USA. But in 1992, the airline was bought by a group of German businessmen and moved to Germany. During the entire existence of the carrier with airberlin aircraft, there has not been an emergency in which people would have died.

Closes the top ten New Zealand Air New Zealand.

The 15th place in the list is occupied by the Russian "Transaero". The second carrier in Russia in terms of the volume of passengers transported, established in 1990, did not have an emergency in which passengers would have been killed or injured. Among European airlines, Transaero is second only to German airlines apart from Finnair and airberlin. Lufthansa(12th place) and the British british airways(13th place).

The last British Airways crash occurred on September 10, 1976, when a Heathrow-to-Istanbul jet collided with an Inex Adria DC-9 in the skies over Yugoslavia. All 54 passengers and 9 crew members died.

Lufthansa's fatal incident occurred on 14 September 1993, when an A320, while landing in Warsaw, overran the runway and crashed into the ground. Then two people died.

Russian national carrier Aeroflot ranks 35th in the ranking. JACDEC experts have been analyzing the airline's testimony only since 1992, that is, after the collapse of Aeroflot (and without taking into account subsidiaries). Since that time, one disaster has occurred with his planes - in March 1994 in Kemerovo region Airbus A310 crashed while flying from Moscow to Hong Kong. The tragedy happened due to the fact that the commander of the ship, relying on the autopilot, put his 15-year-old son in his place. He accidentally turned off the autopilot, and the plane went into an inverted spin. 75 people died in the crash.

The best positions in the rating than Aeroflot are occupied by such European airlines as the Portuguese TAP Portugal(16th), British Thomas Cook Airlines(17th), Virgin Atlantic(18th), easyJet(19th) and Thomsonfly(25th), as well as the Dutch KLM(23rd), Irish Ryanair(28th), Swiss Swiss(30s) and Italian Alitalia(34th place).

french Air France was on the 39th line of the rating, the Spanish Iberia- on the 45th. Two positions below Scandinavian SAS.

Turkish Airlines ranked 53rd. For 76 years, 18 accidents have occurred with the aircraft of this airline. domestic flights and three - on international. The last one happened on February 25, 2009 at Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam. During landing, it broke into three parts. There were 128 passengers and seven crew members on board. As a result of the crash, nine people died and 86 were injured.

Closes the list of the safest airlines on the planet Egyptian carrier EgyptAir.

By the way, according to official statistics, 2011 in international aviation recognized as the safest in its history. In total, last year in air accidents in different regions 498 people died in the world. For comparison, in 2010, 829 passengers died in air crashes. The worst year in aviation history was 1996, when 2,272 people died.

The main reasons that can lead to a plane crash:

• Pilot Error - 50%
• Technical problems — 22%
• Weather — 12%
• Sabotage - 9%
• Error of other crew members - 7%
• Other reasons - 1%

Interestingly, disasters due to terrorist attacks occur in less than 1% of cases. But because of fires, disasters happen in about 2.9% of cases.

The table takes into account 1,300 fatal air crashes involving commercial airliners worldwide from 1950 to 2008. Air crashes with less than 10 passengers on board, with military, private jets and helicopters were not taken into account.

Air crash statistics by flight phase

* - during a flight lasting 1.5 hours

As you noticed, the biggest chance of getting into a plane crash is during a plane landing. But during the loading of people on board, the chances are so small that there are no statistics on the dead.

Air crash statistics by airline

Aeroflot crash statistics show that it is one of the safest airlines. And this is achieved primarily by skill, they do not save on pilots, and also because Aeroflot has one of the most modern fleets among all European airlines. First, I suggest you look at the video of the crazy emergency landing Boeing 767 of the Polish airline LOT at Warsaw airport. Fortunately, in this accident, thanks to the skill of the pilots, there were no casualties.

These statistics cannot be used to assess the reliability of aircraft or airlines. The indicators are calculated on the basis of past incidents and cannot be used to prevent or reduce expected risks. The safety/reliability assessment uses many other parameters that were not taken into account when compiling the table.
