I am sure Angola air feature somewhere near the bottom of this list..

The link below is a google map of the airport in Luzamba, Angola which has at least 4 wrecked planes around the run way. Not a sight you want to see as you approach the airport!!

Same for BA (but not aware of Iberia's record now they have merged).

BA had an accident at Manchester about 20 years ago no?

BA would have been BOAC and BEA wouldn't they? I bet they've had a few between them!

That was British Airtours... But they were a wholly owned subsidiary of BA at the time.

There was also a British Airways flight involved in mid-air in the 70's, but apparently the cause was ATC error.

All depends how you attribute the accident statistics- i.e does ATC error (or a previous hijack) mean an individual airline is any less safe?

A common fallacy, their last one was in 1951

I think the stat is during the jet age.
