Aviation places a significant emphasis on safety, with multiple stakeholders responsible for minimizing risks. Despite stringent safety measures, incidents are common, although accidents, which result in serious injury, death, or aircraft damage, are less frequent. Certain airlines have managed to maintain an accident-free history even as air travel has grown more complex over the years.

Hawaiian Airlines, which began operations in 1929, has a noteworthy safety record, having never experienced an accident throughout its history. There have been incidents, including a runway overrun in 2000 and a smoke event in 2019, but these did not result in serious consequences. Hawaiian remains one of the oldest airlines without an accident on its record.

Several budget airlines such as JetBlue, Frontier Airlines, and Spirit Airlines in the United States also maintain accident-free records, despite having encountered minor incidents. Internationally, airlines like EasyJet, WizzAir, and Asian carriers such as EVA Air and Scoot show similar safety profiles.

Virgin Australia, Etihad Airways, and Qatar Airways also boast strong safety records. While Qatar Airways lost aircraft due to ground fires and Etihad experienced an aircraft write-off during testing, these events did not involve loss of life.

The evolution of aircraft technology has enhanced safety considerably compared to earlier models. Modern jets feature advanced systems for navigation and threat detection, reducing the chances of accidents. Crew training and standardized maintenance procedures across the industry ensure a high level of safety.

The FAA recently audited major airlines like United Airlines and Southwest Airlines but found no deficiencies in safety protocols, highlighting random chance as a potential factor for incidents noted.

Despite increased air traffic and some structural challenges within aviation infrastructure, such as staff shortages and outdated systems, aviation safety continues to improve. Airlines regularly learn and adapt from incidents to further minimize risks.

Flying remains predominantly safe across major carriers thanks to ongoing technological and procedural advancements. However, current infrastructure faces challenges that necessitate ongoing improvements to maintain safety standards.
