The U.S. airline industry is facing questions about safety after a string of concerning events this year.

The most notorious occurred on Jan. 5, when a door plug blew out of a Boeing 737 Max 9 plane midair on an Alaska Airlines flight. Even though the plane landed safely and no one was injured, the incident caused concern about the safety of other Boeing 737 Max planes, leading other airlines like United Airlines to also ground their fleet during the fallout. A month later, after undergoing Federal Aviation Administration inspections, 94% of Alaska Airlines’ Boeing 737 Max 9 planes were back in service.

Airlines must report all safety incidents to the National Transportation Safety Board, which investigates each occurrence and recommends that the FAA bolster safety. (Data about these incidents, once reported to government agencies, is open to the public.) The NTSB is still investigating the Jan. 5 episode, which included a two-day hearing in early August 2024.

However, January was only the beginning of airline safety concerns this year. In March, and then again in July, two separate United Airlines planes lost wheels and tires during takeoff and had to make emergency landings. In April, another United flight skidded off the runway. In response, the FAA pledged to increase oversight over United.

These incidents have left some travelers wondering about the safety of U.S. airlines or flying in general. In March 2024, Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg said data shows flight safety has gotten better, and flying in the U.S. is the safest way to travel.

To find out which U.S. airlines have the best and worst safety records, Stacker looked at WalletHub’s 2024 report on this year’s best airlines and narrowed the data to the safety section of the study, which looked at two metrics from 2018 to 2023: 1) the number of fatal injuries in aviation accidents and 2) the number of injuries in aviation incidents and accidents. The 10 national airlines studied were then ranked from least to most safe. The maximum score an airline can achieve is 35 points.
