Geoffrey Thomas Secures Double Victory in Significant Awards
In the realm of air travel, making informed decisions about which airline to choose can be a daunting task. That's where Airlineratings.com comes in, offering a one-stop shop for everything related to airlines. Developed by a team of aviation experts who have researched nearly every airline in the world, Airlineratings.com provides a wealth of information to help travellers make educated choices.
At the heart of Airlineratings.com is its unique 7-star safety rating system. This system, which assesses airline safety based on three main pillars, provides a comprehensive, expert-driven assessment of an airline’s safety record, pilot performance, fatal accident history, global audit results, and operational factors.
The first pillar, Pilot-Related Safety Incidents, examines whether an airline has had serious incidents. If there are no such issues, the airline earns three stars. If there are serious incidents, the airline receives between zero and two stars depending on the severity and frequency of those incidents.
The second pillar considers Fatal Accidents in the Last 10 Years. Airlines lose three stars if they have had a fatal passenger or crew accident in the past decade. However, not all fatal accidents are treated equally—accidents caused by terrorism, hijacking, pilot suicide, or incidents clearly not the airline's fault do not lead to a star deduction.
The third pillar focuses on International Safety Audits. The airline’s performance in international safety audits and certifications is critical, including the airline’s home country audit results and whether the airline has passed key certifications such as the IATA Operational Safety Audit (IOSA).
Additional factors that complement the star system include serious incidents in the past two years, fleet age and size, rate of incidents and fatalities, profitability of the airline, pilot skill and training, and how well incidents are managed. Expert consultation from aviation consultants, senior pilots, and safety analysts ensures that the ratings reflect long-term operational safety and commitment rather than isolated events.
Airlineratings.com is more than just a safety rating system. It also provides information on over 30 types of aircraft, including the latest Boeing 787 and the A380. The website contains country of origin, airline code, booking URL, and seat map information for each airline, making it easy for users to compare their options.
Moreover, Airlineratings.com aims to answer various questions about air travel. From the quirky, such as "What are all those noises after takeoff and before landing?" and "How often is an aircraft maintained?", to the more practical, like "What are the baggage allowances for each airline?", Airlineratings.com is a valuable resource for travellers seeking answers.
