Plane Crashes for Airlines in Asia, Australia and the Pacific Region

The following values for each airline includes the number of fatal plane crashes and other fatal events since 1970, the year of the most recent passenger death, the estimated number of flights since 1970, and an estimate of the fatal event rate per million flights. Below you will find estimates of each airline's passenger death rate, and also links to the crash record of the airline. Because the number of flights for each airline is an estimate, the fatal event rate is also an estimate. Unless otherwise stated, the number of fatal events is current as of the revision date at the bottom of the page, but the number of flights is the estimate through 2000.
