Sometimes, we want to know which are the most dangerous airlines in order to avoid them
when we are organizing our trip.
So here are the 10 most dangerous airlines in the world.
Rated by airlines.com, not certified by the IOSA.
Know before you go.
Number 10.
Southwest Airlines This is a major United States airline established
in 1967.
Ironically, this was considered among the 10 safest in the world in 2012.
What happened then?
Apart from the lack of minimum standards and certification, of course.
Number 9.
AirAsia Thailand This is a joint venture of Malaysian low fare
airline AirAsia and Thailand's Asia Aviation.
This was the only low-cost airline operating both domestic and international flights from
Savannah Bumi Airport.
It's not certified by the IOSA, but at least it's allowed to enter the EU.
Number 8.
Iraqi Airways This is the national carrier of Iraq, being
the second oldest airline in the Middle East and a member of the Arab Air Carriers Organization.
It has had several incidents, accidents and hijackings since it began operations in 1945
and it's not certified by the IOSA nor allowed to enter the EU.
Number 7.
Kam Air This one is headquartered in Kabul and it
was founded in 2003.
It operates 90% of domestic flights in Afghanistan, but it's not certified by the IOSA, not allowed
in the EU and not even follows the ICAO.
So that's safe then.
Number 6.
Ariana Afghan Airlines Also known simply as Ariana, it is the largest
airline of Afghanistan and serves as the country's national carrier.
Founded in 1955, it has been on the list of air carriers banned in the European Union
since October 2006 and it has had 13 incidents and accidents.
So not the best option then.
Number 5.
Blue Wing This airline from Suriname started in 2002,
but after three accidents and legal problems, now it performs cargo as well as commercial
flights to the interior of Suriname and the surrounding regions.
It doesn't follow any of the other certifications, but at least it follows the ICAO.
Number 4.
Airlines PNG PNG Air is an airline from Port Moresby that
operates scheduled domestic and international flights, as well as contract corporate charter
work.
It started in 1987, but it has had seven accidents since then.
It's allowed to enter the EU, but there's no need for that.
Number 3.
Nok Air This is a low-cost airline in Thailand operating
mostly domestic services, the second largest in the country.
It's had no fatalities, but it's not certified by the OSA, ICAO, or endorsed by the FAA.
So maybe it's not the best option.
Number 2.
Yeti Airlines This airline is based in Kathmandu since 1998.
The airline is only endorsed by the FAA.
Together with Tara Air, they form the largest domestic flight operator in Nepal, and during
its short history has had four accidents that make it the second unsafe airline in the world.
Number 1.
Nepal Airlines Formerly known as Royal Nepal Airlines, the
airline operates domestic services.
Founded in 1958, it has been banned in the European Union since 2013.
It has had 15 incidents and accidents, and is only certified by the FAA.
So it really is the most dangerous airline rated in 2018.
Do you think any other airline should be on this list?
