Airlineratings.com Editor-in-Chief Geoffrey Thomas said that “each of these airlines has a good safety record and has made a big difference in their respective markets.”

“From Southwest Airlines which started the low-cost revolution in the 1970s to Flair and Bonza which redefine the low-cost product, each airline has made a huge contribution to affordable travel.”

“In Europe, it’s Easyjet and Ryanair, in Asia/Pacific AirAsia, Jetstar, Scoot and Vietjet, while in the Americas one can add Flair, Frontier and Spirit, to Southwest. All are standouts.”
