Air India
One of Asia’s oldest carriers. Flight AI171 — a 787 lost at Ahmedabad in June 2025, killing 241 of the 242 aboard — was its first fatal accident in decades, and the reason this page will never tell you any airline is beyond risk.
At this level of safety, the gap between major airlines is statistically negligible. Flying Air India — or any major scheduled carrier — you would need to fly every day for over 25,000 years to statistically expect a fatal accident.
This figure counts years since a fatal accident, not flights — Air India has no sourced per-airline flight total, so it can't say how many trips sit behind the record. One airline's own history, however long or short, is a far smaller sample than the worldwide figure this site already publishes: 99.999993% of boardings end safely — 1 death per 13,700,000 boardings, worldwide, 2018–2022 (MIT / ARNOLD BARNETT, 2024).
That's the whole record, checked 2026-07-09. Reading it again tonight won't change what's in it.
