Boeing 737: Safer Than You Think
Despite Recent Concerns, the 737 Has a Solid Safety Record
Experts Say the 737-700-800-900 Models Are Particularly Reliable
Despite recent concerns about the safety of the Boeing 737, experts say that the aircraft actually has a better safety record than the larger Boeing 747. The 737-700-800-900 models are particularly reliable, with a fatal crash rate of just 0.06 per million flights. This is one of the lowest rates for any commercial aircraft.
A study conducted by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) found that the Boeing 737-900 has an exceptional safety record, with a low accident rate compared to other aircraft in its class. The study also found that the 737-900 is more likely to land safely in an emergency situation than other aircraft.
On Monday, a United Airlines flight on a Boeing 737-900 from Houston to Fort Myers, Florida had to make an emergency landing after flames started shooting out of the engine. The plane landed safely and no one was injured.
The latest safety ratings from AirlineRatings.com show that the Boeing 737 is one of the safest aircraft in the world. The 737-700-800-900 models are rated as "7 stars," which is the highest safety rating possible.
Overall, the Boeing 737 is a safe and reliable aircraft. The recent incidents involving the 737 MAX do not reflect the overall safety record of the 737 family of aircraft.
