Air New Zealand has been ranked as the world’s safest airline for 2025. The list was created after reviewing 385 airlines from around the world.
The ranking takes into account several safety factors such as the age of the airline’s fleet, past accidents, any fatalities, IOSA safety certification, pilot training standards, and the financial strength of the airline.
Air New Zealand stood out for its strong safety record, well-trained staff, and overall reliability. Other full-service airlines that also made it to the top of the list include Qantas, Qatar Airways, and Emirates all known for their excellent safety and service.
Among low-cost carriers, HK Express, Jetstar, and Ryanair were named the safest. These budget airlines were praised for maintaining strong safety measures while offering affordable travel options.
The rankings are published every year to recognize airlines that perform well in safety and operations. They also help give passengers peace of mind, especially during times when air travel safety is under the spotlight due to recent incidents in the industry.
The purpose of this ranking is not only to celebrate the safest airlines but also to encourage all airlines to maintain high safety standards.
As air travel picks up again globally, such rankings are a helpful tool for passengers to make informed choices and fly with confidence. Air New Zealand’s top position is a reflection of its ongoing commitment to safety and quality in aviation.
