The aircraft as a means of transportation is the mostreliable type of passenger transport. The safety factor of any aircraft is more than tenfold. That is, the maximum permissible safety margin is ten times higher than the aircraft required by the technical specifications.

The five most secure aircraft in the version of the publication BusinessWeek

Boeing 777 tops the top 5 safestaircraft. The beginning of the operation of this model is in 1995, the number of hours spent in the air - more than nineteen million, and for the entire operation of a single tragedy with a fatal outcome. Back in 2007, the Boeing 777 set its personal record in a million non-stop flights. For almost two decades of successful operation of the airliner there were only seven precedents, of which two were attempts to capture hostages and one accident. The most unpleasant incident is the flight of Beijing-London in 2008, in which the altitude in the heat exchanger of fuel equipment began to icing. As a result of an emergency landing in Heathrow, injuries of varying degrees of complexity were given to thirteen people. On the second place of the safety rating is the Airbus A340, operated since 1993. The number of hours spent in the air is over thirteen million. This liner, too, does not have a single accident with a fatal outcome. The most dangerous was the landing during a thunderstorm in Toronto in 2005. 43 people were injured during the emergency landing. The third place belongs to the Airbus A330, which does not have fatal accidents until 2009. The only accident that led to the death of all people in the airliner occurred in 2009 on June 1, but as the decoding of the black boxes showed, the tragedy was caused by the pilots. The fourth place is Boeing 747, which has seventeen and a half million flight hours and one catastrophe. Began to be operated in 1970, during this time there were fifty disasters, of which eighteen with human casualties. The most tragic accident occurred as a result of the crash of Boeing over the Pacific Ocean in 2002, when 225 people died. The fifth place was won by the Boeing 737 NG, which accounts for three catastrophes, but the fifth place is based on the average figure. This model of Boeing is operated relatively recently, only in 1982. Meanwhile, the plane is considered the most reliable among travelers, as all three accidents occurred due to people's fault. The worst thing happened in India in 2010, when the pilot failed to manage, and the plane exploded in the ravine.

Another version of aircraft reliability

Supporters of another version of the calculation of the most reliableAirliners believe that this figure does not depend on the model of the aircraft. It depends only on the reliability of the airline to which this aircraft belongs, since the technical condition of the aircraft depends on the human factor and is connected directly with both the hiring of professional service technicians and with the selection of high-quality pilots. Any aircraft has its own service life, the termination of which is ignored by some airlines. Sometimes there are reports in the media about drunken pilots, and no one knows how matters stand with technical inspection of aircraft before departure and periodic inspection in hangars. That is why, the faster the private air carrier companies realize the importance of serious attitude to the preparation for the flight, the more reliable and reliable their planes will be. The price of error is human life.
