List of accidents and incidents on commercial airliners grouped by airline
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The following is a list of accidents and incidents on commercial airlines grouped by airline. It is also available grouped by location, by year and alphabetically.
This list is dynamic and by no means complete! For alternative, more exhaustive lists, see the Aircraft Crash Record Office or Aviation Safety Network. However, airlines often seem to be remembered by their worst accidents, and in that sense this list presents a good overview.
See also Accidents and Incidents in Aviation.
