The following table provides statistical information regarding the accident rates from years 1990 to 2005 in around Australia and Asia. A fatal event is defined as 'an event in which one passenger was fatally injured solely due to the operation of an aircraft’.There are many factors that contribute to the safety rating of an airline including: accident history, maintenance and operational procedures, types of training programs among pilots and crew.
In addition there are different ways to analyze past accident data including using number of hours flown, passenger miles completed or number of trips made. The accident rates are based on only three basic parameters. Number of flights, the number of fatal accidents and the fatality rate of those accidents. The methodology is listed below the tables.Aviation accidents are extremely rare, with the probability of a passenger being killed on a single flight at approximately eight million-to-one. If a passenger boarded a flight at random, once a day, everyday, it would statistically be over 21,000 years before he or she would be killed.
