Singapore Airlines is the flagship carrier of Singapore, operating international and domestic flights since 1972. Singapore Airlines is one of the world’s largest airlines, ranking 12th in terms of revenue passenger kilometers in December 2016 according to Statista. Singapore Airlines also ranks as the second-largest in the world in terms of market capitalization. Singapore Airlines was also the first buyer of the largest passenger carrier, the A380, and remains one of the few airlines which has an A380 in its fleet. But from a safety point of view, Singapore Airlines has encountered three safety incidents since 2000, with one fatal incident taking the lives of 83 people. In 2000, a Singapore Airlines flight from Singapore to Los Angeles via Taipei encountered a takeoff accident in Taipei, killing 79 passengers and four crew members.
