Finnair World's Safest Airline In 2012: JACDEC

Recommended Posts

HELSINKI, Jan 9 (Bernama) -- Finland's national carrier Finnair was the world's safest airline last year, according to the JACDEC Safety Index.

Finnair tops the list with the least fatal accidents, followed by Air New Zealand, Cathay Pacific Airways, Emirates and Etihad, Xinhua news agency quoted a local media report.

JACDEC, or Jet Airliner Crash Data Evaluation Centre, is a Hamburg-based information collector and analyser which incorporates thousands of entries of safety occurrences. It collects information of more than 800 airlines in 178 countries and regions.

The Safety Index is a probabilistic measurement of past airline safety. It counted the fatalities per Revenue Passenger Terameter performed by airlines around the world.

Finnair has been ranked one of the world's safest airlines for several times.

Finnair's last fatal accident was in November 1963 when an OH-LCA flight crashed near Aland islands, killing 22 passengers and all crew members.
