easyJet one of the industry’s leading low-cost airlines is now rated as a seven-star airline for safety by AirlineRatings.com After consultation with the industry, the world’s most respected airline rating agency has refined its safety rating criteria to move the focus from audits to real-world outcomes in pilot performance. In an industry first, AirlineRatings.com has examined over 11,000 serious incident reports since 2015 to arrive at an incident rating for airlines. Incidents and crashes now account for five of the seven-star ratings. SUBSCRIBE to COVID-19 and Safety Ratings Easyjet has had a fatality-free record since it was formed in March 1995. AirlineRatings.com Editor-in-Chief Geoffrey Thomas said; “easyJet’s safety record is superb and at every touchpoint passenger safety is paramount.” “Our refined safety rating system recognizes the achievements of airlines such as easyJet, that have perfect fatality free records,” said Mr. Thomas. “There is growing concern industry-wide at some pilot performance issues and we have evolved our rating system to put greater focus on outcomes.” “With easyJet we found an extremely low incident rate and virtually none attributable to pilots.” READ: The rise and rise of Kam Air “That performance and its COVID-19 compliance for passengers gains easyJet the top safety rating of seven-stars,” said Mr. Thomas. Easyjet’s fleet is built around the best selling single-aisle airliner the Airbus A320. “The A320 is an outstanding platform and easyJet has 340 in service and 109 on order, said Mr Thomas.
