Flight safety check
Check how safe your flight is
Type a flight number. We find the aircraft flying it and show its safety record: a 0–100 score built from every fatal accident and millions of flights.
Safety scores for everyday decisions
Every score runs from 0 to 100, uses the same grade scale, and shows the data behind it.

Data first
Aircraft scores come from accident records and flight counts, not opinion. Other categories use official statistics.
Fixed factors
Each category has published factors and weights. The overall score is their weighted average.
Every source shown
Each page lists its sources, how confident we are, and when we last checked it.

Abu Dhabi
Abu Dhabi is quieter than Dubai and just as safe on the street, with very little theft or violence against visitors. The 2026 Iran war is the catch; falling debris from intercepted missiles killed at least three people in the city in February and March, and the US says reconsider travel to the UAE.

Afghanistan
The US and UK both say do not travel, even on an organised tour. Foreigners risk detention by the Taliban and kidnapping by criminals and militants, fighting with Pakistan has killed hundreds of Afghan civilians since October 2025, and health care and disaster response are very limited.

Air Astana
Air Astana has had no fatal accident since it began flying in 2002 and was released from the EU's restrictions in 2015. It loses points for the 2018 Embraer flight with reversed aileron cables, a string of runway and engine events, and Pratt & Whitney engine problems that have grounded up to 13 jets at a time.

Air Europa
Air Europa, the Madrid-based airline of the Globalia group, has never had a fatal accident or lost an aircraft, and it flies Boeing 787s and 737s under EU oversight. In July 2024 severe turbulence sent 30 people from flight UX045 to hospital, and in 2007 a fog approach at Katowice ended short of the runway.

Air India
Air India lost a Boeing 787 with 241 of 242 people on board at Ahmedabad in June 2025, and the cause is still unknown. India's regulator has since found repeated breaches of crew rest and airworthiness rules, and subsidiary Air India Express had fatal crashes in 2010 and 2020.

Air Peace
Air Peace, Nigeria's largest airline, has had no fatal accident since its first flight in 2014 and is IOSA-registered. Its weak point is crews pressing on with unstable approaches, as in a 2025 overrun after which both pilots tested positive for ethyl glucuronide, which NSIB says indicates recent alcohol consumption.
