Not a confident flyer? These are the airlines you'll want to book in 2020. The results may surprise you.

Air travel’s come a long way since its more turbulent beginnings, but some airlines are still much safer to fly with than others. AirlineRatings has released its ‘World’s 20 Safest Airlines’ for 2020, and you may be surprised by some of the results.

With Asia-Pacific airlines dominating the top of the list (hooray for Australian flyers!), closely followed by Middle Eastern and European carriers, we have a lot to feel good about while flying in and around Australia. Surprisingly, few US carriers made the list this year.

So, which 20 airlines made the cut this year?

Here are the World’s safest airlines according to AirlineRatings, from last to first place:

20. KLM Royal Dutch Airlines
19. Aer Lingus
18. Lufthansa
17. Finnair
16. Swiss International Airlines
15. Royal Jordanian
14. SAS Scandinavian Airlines
13. TAP Air Portugal
12. Virgin Atlantic Airways
11. Hawaiian Airlines
10. Virgin Australia
9. Cathay Pacific
8. Alaska Airlines
7. Emirates Airline
6. Singapore Airlines
5. Qatar Airways
4. Etihad
3. EVA Air
2. Air New Zealand
1. Qantas

So, in reassuring fashion, Australia’s Qantas has come out on top in this year’s ratings. Fun fact: the airline has never had a fatal crash in its almost 100 years of operation. And, with Virgin Australia coming in at number 10, Australian’s can rest easy when planning their travels.
