You’re about to book a flight on an international airline. You know the price of the ticket, but do you know anything else about this carrier? Does the airline have a history of fatal mishaps? Is it flying new Western-built aircraft or older Russian-built planes that are more than 30 years of age? Does the airline support an adequate maintenance program or is it cannibalizing aircraft due to lack of money for spare parts? These are important questions that need answering before a ticket is purchased.

An online database, Airline Insider assists corporate travel, aviation and security departments in making informed decisions before booking flights on commercial air carriers. Our experts analyze the airline’s current structure and seek to identify potential problems that could impact an airline's safety in the future. By using this proactive approach, we can often identify a troubled airline before it becomes a statistic.

Our easy-to-use, online information system contains ratings and reports on more than 250 carriers around the world. Organized in a simple reference format, users can list all of the airlines in the system alphabetically, by country or by region, allowing them to quickly find alternative airlines without complicated database searches. We supply a full report for each carrier listed.

Some of the factors we evaluate include:

• Current financial position
• Maintenance practices
• Age and type of aircraft
• History of security incidents
• Accidents
• Pilot training, background and experience

Airline Insider also provides the FAA’s most recent International Aviation Safety Assessments (IASA) report, which focuses on the ability of each country’s civil aviation organization (not the individual air carrier) to adhere to recommended safety standards.
