1. Qantas
Qantas may not be next in the alphabet, but it deserved the number one since it is the only one of the whole lot that has never had any fatalities in the jet era. The Australian airline gets a special mention for this, as it is deserved. The airline was founded in Queensland in 1920, making it the longest continually operating airline in the world. It has a fleet size of 131 planes and covers some 85 destinations. All in all, these make Qantas number one in the top 20 safest airlines in the world.
