The AirlineRatings website has named Air New Zealand as the safest airline of 2025. It connects Auckland, New Zealand’s largest city, to JFK Airport in New York, USA, covering a distance of over 14,000 km in a 16-hour journey.
“It was an extremely tight race between Air New Zealand and Qantas for the top spot, with only 1.50 points separating the two airlines,” said Sharon Petersen, CEO of AirlineRatings.
Petersen stated that Air New Zealand’s edge lies in its newer fleet compared to the Australian airline.
AirlineRatings was created in 2012 by a team of aviation-specialized writers, editors, and researchers. They evaluate serious incidents, fleet age, incident rates, fatalities, among other criteria, and also consult pilots.
