Which airline can you trust

[Chilli Pepper 5]

I saw this on Yahoo, a few asian ones including one Thai Airline which i have never heard of before.

 

 

 

Blacklist

The first line of defence against potentially unsafe airlines is the Commission's blacklist - which details all airlines barred from European airspace. While largely composed of African and Asian airlines, there are also a number closer to home:

I always fly major carriers and jumbo jets. None of those commuter planes.

[Candinski 0]

The law of nature is what goes up must come down. The major carriers normally manage to do it controlled.

[berettakid 26]

If flying from the Uk, i always try to get an Emirates deal costing £435 from Birmingham, planes are clean, food great for an economy flight and every entertainment system works, my theory if they take care of the little things then they get my confidence in the safety issues.

 

Another thing if god forbid and there was a issue and a crashed was caused, imagine the compensation issues would be cause trying to sue such as Teebah Airways Sierra Leone

From today's BBC website:

 

Pilots and cabin crew have come to blows on an international flight bound for India, media reports say.

 

The scuffle is said to have begun as an argument in the plane's cockpit over claims of sexual harassment but spilled into the galley, startling passengers.

 

One pilot and one air hostess suffered bruises, as punches were thrown.

 

The incident took place over Pakistan on an Air India flight from the United Arab Emirates to Delhi, with 106 passengers and seven crew on board.

 

 

Nice.

Hi,

 

Funny shit. I try to stick to top airlines. In my youth I would fly with anybody.

[jballstate 326]

The one Thai airline listed, One Two Go Airline, flys mostly domestic routes in Thailand as well as a few flights to some close neighbors of Thailand.

 

I flew them from BKK to Phuket a couple of years ago. It is a one class discount airline and I was supprised when we boarded what looked to be a new jet airliner. Service was excellent. While at the airport I observed several of their aircraft including a 747 on the ground. Could find no fault with them.

[mrlasvegas 124]

Merpati I have flown at least 20 times Jakarta to Denpasar.Excellent airline.What ius definately missing from the list is Spirit Airlines.A US carrier based in Fort Lauderdale,FL. They are the most dangerous thing with wings.

Siem Reap Airways is a subsidiary of Bangkok Airways, and in fact, most of the Bangkok to Siem Reap flights are actually technically this carrier's flights.

I've also flown Merpati from Lombok to Denpasar. 20 minute flight, seemed quite professionally run. And Siem Reap Airways is run operationally as a transparent part of Bangkok Airways , which I've always regarded as an excellent (if often over-priced carrier). Those are 2 carriers I am surely surprised to see on the list. One-to-Go belongs on the list. They crashed a flight between BKK and Phuket a couple of years ago, due to pilot error, and they run really old planes that other airlines have retired from service.
