Qantas Safety Video Under Fire

Geoffrey Thomas

The new Qantas safety video is under fire from the staff and public as being too long and boring while failing to address the importance of not taking carry-on baggage with you in the case of an evacuation.

The importance of a rapid evacuation was highlighted when all passengers and crew were safely evacuated from a Japan Airlines A350 at Narita Airport in January.

The Japan Airlines safety video, at the bottom of the story, points out the reasons not to take carry-on baggage in the case of an evacuation.

Here is our Editor-in-Chief Geoffrey Thomas discussing the Qantas video.

Below is the Japan Airlines Safety Video.

Airlineratings.com is packed with information about air travel and answers questions that many of us may have thought of, but didn’t know who to ask. Well, now you do!

Airlineratings.com was developed to provide everyone in the world with a one-stop shop for everything related to airlines, formed by a team of aviation editors, who have forensically researched nearly every airline in the world.

Our rating system is rated from one to seven stars on safety – with seven being the highest ranking. Within each airline, you will find the country of origin, airline code, booking URL and seat map information. The rating system takes into account a number of different factors related to audits from aviation’s governing bodies, lead associations as well as the airline’s own safety data. Every airline has a safety rating breakdown so you can see exactly how they rate.

Over 230 of the airlines on the site that carry 99 per cent of the world’s passengers have a product rating. Given that low-cost, regional and full-service carriers are so different we have constructed a different rating system for each which can be found within each airline
