Air New Zealand named World’s Safest Airline for 2024
AirlineRatings.com, website that rates airline safety and products, has named Air New Zealand as its safest airline for 2024.
Air New Zealand has gained the top spot from last year’s winner Qantas by the narrowest of margins.
According to AirlineRatings.com Editor-in-Chief Geoffrey Thomas: “Our Top Twenty-Five Safest Airlines are all standouts in the industry and are at the forefront of safety, innovation, and launching of new aircraft.”
“The safety margins between these top twenty-five airlines are very small,” Mr. Thomas said.
“Between Air New Zealand and Qantas, there are only 1.5 points”.

In making its evaluation, AirlineRatings.com takes into account a comprehensive range of factors that include serious incidents, recent fatal accidents, audits from aviation’s governing and industry bodies, profitability, industry-leading safety initiatives, expert pilot training assessment and fleet age.
However, the evaluation leaves out such things as bird strikes, turbulence injuries, weather diversions and lightning strikes as the airline has no control over such events.
In selecting Air New Zealand as the world’s safest airline for 2024, AirlineRatings.com editors noted that the airline has a firm focus on safety and has excelled across the broad safety spectrum right down to the smallest detail.
