Enjoy Your Flight, These 20 Airlines Are the Safest in the World in 2023, Is Indonesia Included?

Dream - Which airline is the safest in the world? The answer to this question can be seen from the analysis results of AirlineRatings.com on 385 air travel companies, to determine the 20 safest airlines in the world in 2023.

In giving its assessment, AirlineRatings.com looks at various factors, including records of serious incidents over the past two years, government audits, fleet age, and Covid-19 safety protocols.

"Our 20 safest airlines in 2023 are always at the forefront of safety innovation, operational excellence, and the launch of new, more advanced aircraft such as the Airbus A350 and Boeing 787," said AirlineRatings.com Editor-in-Chief Geoffrey Thomas, as quoted from Euronews, June 9, 2023.

"These airlines stand out in the industry and are at the forefront of safety, innovation, and the launch of new aircraft," Geoffrey continued.

The top position of the safest airlines in the world actually comes from a country not far from Indonesia.

The airline from Australia, Qantas, is at the top position as the safest airline in the world. Qantas has recorded an outstanding record in operations and safety, making it accepted as the most experienced airline in this industry.

Qantas briefly lost its top position in 2022 due to an incident at Perth Airport in 2018, involving a Boeing 737 aircraft.

At that time, the aircraft veered off the runway, crossed the stop bar, and nearly collided with another 737 inside it.

This incident was not recorded until 2020, which then affected the safety ranking in 2021. Qantas dropped to seventh place.

The second position is occupied by Air New Zealand, which was the winner in 2022. Etihad Airways from the UAE is in third place, while Qatar Airways is in fourth place.

The aviation industry in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) can be proud of its safety achievements. Three renowned airlines from the country are included in the top 10. 

Meanwhile, airlines from the United States, known as the production site of Boeing, are surpassed by a small country in Southeast Asia, Singapore.  

However, airlines from Indonesia have not made it into the top 20 safest airlines in the world.

Here are the 20 safest airlines in the world in 2023:
