10 Most Dangerous Airlines in the World


Bangalore: ‘Flying is the safest means of travel,’ that’s the slogan you’ll get to hear when it comes to air travels. And it might be true too if we consider the number of disasters that happen on road; only difference being that- road accidents don’t make headlines around the world but air crashes do. But even after air travel is touted to be the safest, there are some of the airlines in the world that make voyagers shudder while boarding, all thanks to the history of air crashes.

The Jet Airliner Crash Data Evaluation Centre (JACDEC), the German organization, which collects information about aviation accidents and safety, has published its annual Airline Safety Ranking. It has come up with the data after rating 60 airlines, based on the number and deadliness of the hull losses (destroyed airplanes) that they have suffered in the past 30 years, and how they have fared more recently.

Here are the ten airlines with the worst safety records, including the number of hull losses since 1983, and how many fatalities they caused, as compiled by Yahoo.
