HAVE YOU HAD AN AVIATION ACCIDENT?
Plane Crash Claim:

Although summer might be over, more people are starting to seek sun, sea, or even snow further afield. Winter holidays are becoming an ever-more popular pursuit, and similarly holidays taken with the whole family during half term or those precious weeks of the school holidays are ensuring that more of us are travelling abroad for our vacation.

As a change to the wintery climates here, you might opt for a sunny retreat to one of the Caribbean Islands or even Florida. Australia and New Zealand, always popular destinations for backpackers, have now become popular for families and young couples interested in the fantastic scenery and cultural life. Flights to this distant destination often involve stop offs and can be fairly expensive, but worth investing in for a once-in-a-lifetime trip. Closer to home, trips to mainland Europe mean you can take part in German Christmas markets, or experience the beauty of Paris, Prague or Milan during this festive season. With the newest and fastest planes, in a few hours you can be nestled in a café alongside the Seine, ensuring you have an enjoyable mini-break during this slightly gloomy season.

Most people will want to fly to these destinations, although if holidaying in Europe the Eurostar is a useful option if you intend to do a little travelling while you’re there. Preparing for a holiday is always stressful, especially around this frantic festive time, but ensuring you have the essentials will mean you can relax a little. Travel and health insurance are important whatever the length of your break, as is remembering your passport! Winter weather can also mean flight turbulence and unexpected problems with the flight. Although it may not be another ash cloud clogging the engines, snow, ice and sleet can all cause problems with your journey, in the air or at the airport.

These problems more often than not do not lead to any major accidents or unsolvable issues and your holiday will go smoothly. But there is a greater risk of an aviation accident due to winter weather and the uncertainty this brings. Without tempting fate, understanding the processes for plane crash claim compensation can be very helpful in case of an accident. With travel insurance up to date, your medical needs after any accident (however minor) will be accounted for; accessing a specialist aviation solicitor will ensure that, if necessary, claiming for air accident compensation will be equally as simple. Specialist solicitors can ensure that you gain as great a settlement as possible during your air accident compensation claim, and also provide you with sympathetic and knowledgeable support throughout the process. Preparing yourself for all eventualities ensures you can enjoy a winter break in peace: just what a lot of us need this time of year.

ABOUT THIS SITE
Program Overview:

This site does not intend to be another list of air accidents, the aim is to answer the question: is there a way to know if one airline is safer than another?

To reach this objective we started from a database including all fatal occurrences to commercial aircraft, scheduled and charter, specifying for each one of them the nationality of the carrier involved. The next step was to relate the accident figures with a production element in order to get an output showing the number of accidents vs. the production performed.

Therefore we processed, for each ICAO country, the following ratio:

Number Of Fatal Accidents / Production Performed

The selected Production factor was TKP (Tonn-Km-Performed), which includes the number of Km performed as well as revenue load carried (passengers + cargo) by commercial aircraft for each country of registration.

Through TKP one can include the full range of commercial aviation: domestic and international services, scheduled and charter operations; passengers and cargo flights. The ratio is processed on five-years basis. This period is considered to be short enough to exclude old data, and long enough to be statistical significant.

With the above assessments one can have a safety snapshot referring not to a single carrier but to the respective civil aviation authority’s (CAA) capability for providing safety certification and oversight for its carriers. Such a procedure is not arbitrary but consistent with the historical trend of civil aviation safety.

An examination of more than half a century of data (the database starts from 1951) has given us the reasonable certainty that rather than safety problems to be ascribed to single carriers, there are problems attributable to the capability of respective CAAs in providing effective control of the carriers under their jurisdiction. As further support to the above overview it is worth remembering that the USA IASA program (International Aviation Safety Assessments), started in 1991, is based on a similar concept:

«The purpose of the IASA is to ensure that all foreign air carriers that operate to or from the United States are properly licensed and with safety oversight provided by a competent Civil Aviation Authority in accordance with ICAO standards».

How can one evaluate the relative safety of an individual airline? Having verified the safety record of an individual country, the traveller can then check what airlines from "safer" countries fly to the chosen destination, to decide whether to avoid the local carrier or not.
