World's most deadly airline revealed

And “dread” diseases.

And as always, the terror of road accidents hardly gets a mention.

Hmmmm.

Does anyone else see a pattern developing there? :diablo:

one did crash a couple of weeks later but never did want to know if it was our aircraft.

I’ve had a couple of odd things like that. I was flying around Russia on Aeroflot 735’s a week before one crashed killing all on board, I flew through AMS a day or two before the Turkish 737 crashed there and I flew out of Tokyo Narita less than 24 hours before the Fed-Ex MD-11 crashed. As long as I keep missing them I don’t mind!

QANTAS have a large fleet and they have not killed a soul yet!

Though in recent years that has maybe been down to sheer luck than a truly safe and incident free operation!

Flew wit Aeroflot to Australia………never again.On the stopover from Bankok the doors over the wings were open for cleaning for some reason and when the air hostess shut it there was a warning beeper going off.She shut it a few times and it was still going off so the captain was called.He came down and gave it a good hard slam..the whole cover came off in his hands!! with the bleeper still going he said `oh it`ll be ok` and we took off……………….one did crash a couple of weeks later but never did want to know if it was our aircraft.

I find it amazing that the journalist can claim the AF A330 crash would not have happened had it been equiped with a BUSS system. Considering even the official investigators don’t know exactly what happened I find that statement to be rather premature.

I wonder if the author(s) knew that Aeroflot was the Soviet aircraft fleet and not the Aeroflot – Russian International Airlines of today.

Odd how the airlines with the most planes seem to have the most accidents. Funny thing, that. :rolleyes:

Indeed, a 250-strong fleet.

I don’t think a large fleet size makes a crash any more acceptable. (for the record, I know that wasn’t what you were implying PMN 🙂 )

These surveys are often inaccurate as you say, but no-one can dispute that Air France has had three serious accidents over the last twelve years, two resulting in the loss of all on board and the third not just by the grace of God.

The website in question, http://www.baaa-acro.com/, doesn’t make the slightest attempt to put the figures into any sort of perspective.
There’s some useful stuff there for quick reference, but that’s where it stops. Frankly I don’t really want to waste my breath on pointing out where and how it goes wrong, but it’s absolute garbage.
Trouble is that someone somewhere will inevitably cite it as a semi-official source, “proving” (for example) that the RAF is the third “deadliest” operator in the world, sandwiched between Aeroflot and Air France!

If that article states that Aeroflot is the ‘deadliest’ airlines of all, whatever that means…. why have they gone talking about Air France for the most of it? :rolleyes:

Oh right..its the Herald Sun, thats why.

Knew that already! Although I did read somewhere that United has crashed almost as many planes as Air France!

Though to be fair I think that article is somewhat unfair to the name of KLM which is a brilliant airline!!
