Meanwhile, amid the number of concerns in trip planning, the last thing any traveler wishes to fret about is the safety of the aircraft they are boarding. And if this helps in any way, we bring to you the 10 airlines that have been designated the safest for this year.

This rating is as per The Airline Ratings, a prominent aviation platform that releases an annual list evaluating the world’s safest airlines.

As per the rating, Air New Zealand has once again managed to secure the designation of the world’s safest airline, reclaiming the top position for 2024 and surpassing its counterpart Qantas. Air New Zealand’s skilled pilots played a pivotal role in attaining the top position.

As per the records, the airline’s adept pilots excel in navigating through some of the most demanding weather conditions, with challenges such as Wellington’s notorious winds and the intricate navigation demands of Queenstown, making it a noteworthy accomplishment.

If you go by earlier records, Air New Zealand had previously also held this prestigious title in 2022. Australian carrier Qantas, the reigning champion from the previous year, now holds the second spot on the list, with Virgin Australia, Etihad Airways, and Qatar Airways following closely to complete the top five.

If you intend to travel with an airline that occupies a position lower on the list, there’s no need for concern. It’s important to note that the safety differentials among the top airlines are minimal. The competition is so close that you won’t have to be concerned for sure.
