    Isn’t this great?

    An Australia-based website constantly giving top marks in its rankings to an Australian airline! What a coincidence, I must say. I love the fact the Qantas, New Zealand, Cathay Pacific, Virgin-AUSTRALIA and other companies from neighbouring countries/territories always come top 10 in every aspect these guys decide to rank. TAP Portugal is not on top 20 for safety? Really? Are you people kidding? How biased is this thing?

    Editors' Comment

    That's right they are not. You need to score 7/7 to even be considered for our list and TAP scores a very good 6 because the country of Portugal doesn't meet all the safety standards set out by ICAO. Please see here for a detailed explanation of how we rate https://www.airlineratings.com/safety_rating_criteria.phpThe website may have been born in Australia but most of the website staff are based in the UK and America not Australia so what you are saying really has no weight. The USA and UK are our far biggest market so if it was as you say above, then we would have many more of these airlines in there - British Airways, the UK's biggest airline - didn't rate so honestly there really is no bias here - just facts.
