Scared of flying? This Indian carrier is the world’s 5th safest airline
Airline safety is perhaps among the things flyers hope they don’t have to think about when they board an aircraft. And if the airline is among the following, which have been rated the safest low-cost airlines globally, even the ones who are scared of flying can take a deep breath. According to airline safety and product review portal AirlineRatings.com, India’s IndiGo is the world’s safest low-cost carrier for 2020 after Air Arabia (UAE), Flybe (UK), Frontier (US), and HK Express (Hong Kong). The other five in the list are JetBlue (US), Volaris (Mexico), Vueling (Spain), Westjet (Canada), and Wizz (Hungary).
The annual rating of airlines is based on a range of factors including “audits from aviation’s governing and industry bodies, government audits, airline’s crash and serious incident record, profitability, industry-leading safety initiatives, and fleet age,” according to the portal. IndiGo is given seven out of seven-star safety rating and four out of five-star product rating.
