Jacdec Risk Index

Jacdec deals with compilation of the list of the safest airlines for 13 years now. During the previous 11 years auditor used simplified Safety Index, however since 2018 this index was improved, complicated and replaced with “Safety Risk Index”.

How is this index formed?

To calculate indications of each airline carrier are taken data of three main criteria and several tens of secondary:

Total number of accidents and various aviation incidents

Contributing surrounding factors: airports’ landscapes and their infrastructural features, weather conditions of the location of the main company’s directions and other.

Various performance indexes of Airline Company such as: age of the airplane, route network, safety audit of International organizations IOSA (IATA Operational Safety Audit) and ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization)).

In total calculation formula contains 33 clauses, thus their number increased by 336 % as compared to old Safety Index. Of course, JACDEC Safety Index is not ideal and all data are based exceptionally on information about events that already took place and on actual operating data.

Affirmation about future risks and safety of one Airline Company or another may be just indirect hypothesis but at present moment Index Risk is the best answer to this difficult question of civil aviation as Aviation Safety.
