AirlineRatings.com Editor-in-Chief Geoffrey Thomas said; “Turkish Airlines' safety record is superb and at every touchpoint passenger safety is paramount.”
“Our refined safety rating system recognizes the achievements of airlines such as Turkish that have excellent 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 Turkish Airlines, we found an extremely low incident rate and virtually none attributable to pilots.
“That performance and its COVID-19 compliance for passengers gain Turkish Airlines the top safety rating of seven stars,” said Mr Thomas.
The airline also has a seven-star rating for its onboard products making it a seven-star rated airline for safety, product and COVID compliance.
Prior to COVID Turkish Airlines operated 374 aircraft to 331 destinations in 127 countries, including 52 domestic, and 13 in the United States and 11 in Germany.
