Air New Zealand Named 2022's Safest Airline
紐西蘭航空被列為2022年最安全航空公司
Airline comparison website AirlineRatings.com has released its list of the top 20 safest airlines in 2022 — and the winner is Air New Zealand.
The website looked at 385 airlines, and compared a number of things to decide which one was the safest. This included if the airline had had a crash over the past five years, or had any other serious incidents over the past two years, as well as its COVID-19 safety measures and how old its planes are.
AirlineRatings.com said Air New Zealand flies in some of the world's most difficult weather conditions and remotest places. It also said the planes are only an average of about 7 years old, and the airline uses a lot of new technology and safety measures.
The second safest airline in 2022 is the UAE's Etihad Airways, followed by Qatar Airways, Singapore Airlines and TAP Air Portugal.
However, AirlineRatings.com Editor-in-Chief Geoffrey Thomas said, "There is very little between the top 20 — they are all standouts."
航空公司評比網站比較385家航空公司中,哪一家最安全的。標準包含,航空公司在過去五年內是否曾有墜機事件,或是在過去兩年內是否有任何嚴重事故,以及新冠病毒防疫措施和機齡。該評比網站表示,紐西蘭航空的飛機機齡平均只有七年,且紐西蘭航空採用大量新穎的科技和安全措施。2022年第二安全的航空公司,是阿拉伯聯合大公國的阿提哈德航空,其次為卡達航空、新加坡航空與葡萄牙航空。
