10 Safest Airlines In The World, What Is The World’s Safest Airline? [PHOTOS]

One of the worst feelings in the world is probably worrying about your life above the skies. But next time you're headed for Auckland, know that with Air New Zealand, you're in safe hands.

And that concludes the Top 10 safest airlines in the world, so there's no reason for needless worry from now on.

CNN says that commercial aviation is one of the most heavily monitored industries in the world. Statistically compared to car accidents, the comparison definitely bears out. According to the Aviation Safety Network (ASN), 2013 has seen the least number of fatalities in aviation history since 1945 - with 29 accidents and 269 deaths. That is a lot as compared to a 10-year average of 32 accidents and 719 deaths.

As for what happened with Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, Editor Geoffrey Thomas of AirlineRatings said in an interview with ABC News that the disappearance appears to have resulted from a structural failure or a bomb.

While the United States does not blacklist individual airlines, it does make a public list of countries which do not meet the international aviation safety standards, reports CNN.

10 safest airlines in the world list may not have meant much before the string of airline disasters this year, but as it is, the list matters, and it is better to worry about comfort than safety in the skies.
