Aircraft crash statistics in Russia

Speaking about our country, we have to admit with bitterness that over the past six years we have taken first place in the world in terms of the number of plane crashes.

So during this time, 38 air crashes occurred in Russia, in which 378 people died, while in the United States there were only 11 air accidents.

Airplane crash statistics by airline

Which airlines had the most accidents? To answer this question, you need to make a rating of airlines by the number of aircraft crashes.

Turkish Airlines

The most massive and popular (especially among Russian tourists) air carrier has not encountered any accidents since the seventies of the last century, but a series of minor incidents, as well as the 2009 disaster near the Dutch Schiphol airport, which claimed nine lives, significantly damaged the airline's reputation.

China Airlines

The Taiwanese airline is considered one of the most unsafe in Asia.

Over the past thirty years, about 755 people have died in accidents with the aircraft of this airline, which gives reason to suspect this company of an unprofessional approach to the safety of its customers.

Korean Airlines

The largest air carrier in South Korea has spent over $ 1 billion on various passenger comfort systems. The ships of this company constantly get into any small accidents, fortunately, so far without casualties. The last tragic incident took place back in 1997.

Saudi Arabian Airlines

The main carrier of Saudi Arabia. Since the year 2000, it has had a reputation for not being a very safe company; various incidents often occur with the aircraft of this carrier, although only one person died in them (during the crush that occurred during the evacuation), the frequency of various accidents involving aircraft of this company is very alarming.

Skywest airlines

A well-known American airline specializing in local transportation. After the 1990s, which dealt a serious blow to the company's reputation, it was only marked by the disaster of 2008 in San Antonio. Fortunately, there were no casualties, but the carrier's reputation was severely damaged.

South African Airways

The largest airline in South Africa, specializing in domestic and international flights... The company's reputation has been shattered by a failed Zimbabwean terrorist who hijacked a plane belonging to the carrier in 2006. As a result of the incident, no one was injured, and although the responsibility lies with the airport security, this did not save the carrier's reputation from a serious blow.

The fall of Aeroflot aircraft

Several dozen airlines are registered in our country. To determine their reliability and safety, one or another company is evaluated according to various criteria, one of which is the technical safety of aircraft. The European Aviation Safety Agency has compiled a rating of the most reliable air carriers in the list of which the domestic company Aeroflot is included.

The company was founded in 1923. After the collapse of the USSR, many small carriers separated from it. In 1992 JSC Aeroflot - Russian International Airlines was created, which marked the beginning of the modern history of the airline. Today Aeroflot is the largest air carrier in Russia. During the period from 1992 to the present, there were 4 air catastrophes that claimed the lives of people. There is also information about 5 more accidents, which, fortunately, did without casualties.

The most famous disaster that happened in the history of the airline is the tragedy near Mezhdurechensk. In the spring of 94th, a passenger plane crashed on a flight from Moscow to Hong Kong. During the investigation, it turned out that the crash was the fault of the aircraft commander. The man put his fifteen-year-old son at the wheel. This disaster took the lives of 75 people.

Going on a trip to another country, people are interested not only in the reliability of airlines, but also in the safety of the aircraft themselves. Therefore, it will not be superfluous to give a rating of the most unreliable and dangerous aircraft.

Boeing 737, was recognized as one of the dangerous aircraft, since most of the accidents occurred on this type of aircraft.

IL 76 is also considered an unsafe aircraft, since it was on this ship that a major catastrophe occurred 13 years ago, which claimed many lives.

TU 154, recognized as very dangerous and unreliable, this airliner also experienced many accidents and emergency situations.

Airbus A 310 is also notorious, it was on this ship that a disaster occurred on June 30, 2009, which claimed more than 150 lives.

McDonnell-Douglas DC 9, this type of aircraft has not been produced for a long time and has been taken out of production, however, during its entire existence, there have been several accidents that resulted in the death of 44 people.

2016 was the busiest year in terms of aviation accidents. This conclusion can be reached by referring to the statistics of air crashes that occurred during this period.

On February 24, a DHC-6 passenger plane crashed in Nepal, there were 20 passengers and 3 crew members on board. As a result of the disaster, no one managed to survive.

A month later, on March 9, AN 26 crashed in Bangladesh, the plane fell into the sea. There were 4 people on board, all of them were citizens of Ukraine. As a result, three people died, and only one managed to survive.

A month later, on December 7, an ATR 42 crashed near the city of Havelian. All 47 people on board were killed.

On December 25 of the same year, a major catastrophe occurred, the aircraft TU 154 of the Russian Air Force, as a result of an error by the crew commander during landing, crashed and completely collapsed. All 92 people on board were killed.

In general, looking at the statistics, we can conclude that it is much safer to travel by air than by ground transport, according to estimates, the probability of dying in a plane crash is 1: 8,000,000. Therefore, you should not be afraid to fly on airliners, because the risk of dying on the ground is much higher than in the air.

Nevertheless, the 747 is considered one of the most reliable aircraft, which is confirmed by statistics. Since the start of operation of these aircraft in 1969, less than 4% of the produced liners have been lost due to crashes, accidents and other incidents.

The Boeing 747, also known informally as the Jumbo Jet, was developed in the late 1960s and was the heaviest and most spacious aircraft in the world for several decades - until the Airbus A380 was introduced in 2005.

The first Boeing crash happened in 1974 - due to a pilot error, the plane fell during takeoff from Nairobi airport, killing 59 people, 98 survived.

Image copyright Reuters Image caption The Jumbo Jet was designed primarily as a cargo plane because in the 1960s the airline industry expected passengers to be carried primarily by supersonic aircraft. However, these predictions did not come true, and the 747 began to be produced in various modifications - from liners for many hundreds of passengers to specialized NASA aircraft for transporting space Shuttles.

Two years later, the Iranian Royal Airlines cargo Boeing 747 crashed due to a lightning strike in the left wing, killing all 17 people on board.

One of the worst disasters since the 747 occurred on August 12, 1985 - it still remains in aviation history as the one that caused the largest number of casualties due to the fall of one plane. A Japanese Airlines liner flying between Tokyo and Osaka collapsed due to a malfunction in the tail section of the fuselage, caused, in turn, by an error during repairs seven years earlier. 520 people died.

In terms of the number of victims, the disaster in Japan is only ahead of the tragedy at the Tenerife airport, on the runway of which two Boeing 747 aircraft of KLM and Pan American World Airways collided. 583 people died, 61 managed to escape.

An error in the repair of the aircraft led to the crash of the Chinese Boeing with 225 people on board, which crashed in the Taiwan Strait in 2002.

Other well-known Boeing 747 crashes are not related to technical problems or crew errors, but to external influences.

In 1983, Soviet fighters shot down a Korean Airlines liner off Sakhalin, killing 269 people; In 1985, a bomb exploded on board an Air India plane killed 329 people in the skies over Ireland; finally, in 1988, a bomb planted by Libyan terrorists exploded over the Scotland town of Lockerbie on a Pan Am liner, killing 259 people on board and 11 Lockerbie residents.
