Air New Zealand is a stand-out airline with a firm focus on safety and its customers and over the past 18 months.
Qantas was at the top position in the safest airlines in the world last year but slipped to seventh due to an incident at Perth Airport in 2018. The portal said that the report on the serious incident was not issued till late 2020, due to which it was left out from the 2021 safety rankings.
