[quads id=1]

No matter how hard we tried, we failed at not feeling pity for the pilots who land carriers in Nepal. This is the second airlines with only one miserable star in safety rating. Actually, all Nepalese Airlines are banned from flying to anywhere in the EU.

Despite a somewhat modest schedule, Nepal Airlines has experienced about a dozen deadly incidents in the previous 30 years, making it one of the world’s most dangerous airlines.

The latest accident recorded occurred in 2014 when an aircraft crashed, resulting in 18 deaths. Furthermore, the airline has never been part of the internationally recognized safety audits.

#1 – Lion Air

The largest airline in Indonesia has the worst safety record, in addition to a number of serious issues it has experienced since it started operating in 2000. Lion Air operates throughout more than eighty destinations and has also added two airlines in Thailand and Malaysia.

As for its safety record, it’s actually horrific, with more than 8 severe incidents and several fatalities in the past 10 years. This might surprise you but accidents actually range from water crashes to overshot runway landings.

What’s more surprising, in 2012, pilots and crew of Lion Air were arrested due to possession of crystal meth (methamphetamine.) Eventually, they are restricted from flying into the EU and had 53 of their routes frozen by the ministry of transportation.

It’s no surprise that Lion Air is lucky to have one star from airlinerating.com and the drastically low rating is expected to remain as such.
