Olympic Airways outperforms Turkish Airways, but using the same metric also compares very poorly to other European airlines.

Thanks for the tables Tim, as I said... if you compare the number of passengers Turkish airlines carried against Olympic they're in the same boat!

Did you know that Olympic Airways is one of only 2 international airlines that has not had a major Jet Crash?

Olympic Aviation and Olympic Airways are not the same company.

And when I say International Airlines, I do not include Cyprus Airways which I regard as a Regional Airline only.

Why is it a regional airline?

Because it only flies on certain European and Middle Eastern routes.

That is because their last serious crash, in which all 34 passengers perished, involved a propellor-driven aircraft:

Who's a clever propagandist, then?

The day after any fatal airline accident is obviously the best day to travel on that airline!

This is not about propaganda. For all I care, THY can be the safest airline in the world and Olympic can be the unsafest. I was just surprised that it had 13 fatal accidents, which is pretty big by International Standards unless you compare to Aeroflot and such like.

It flies to 3 continents and its regional?

Oh, I forgot!

It flies to Cairo as well....

The pilots must be so fatigued after this long haul sector...

You mock?

How many regional airlines do you know who fly A330's and carry out 5-6 hr flights?

As far as I know a regional airline owns a bunch of 737's or A320(or A319's or A321's) and flies the region...

The source quoted above names the airline as "Olympic Airways". Have they got that wrong, then?

Like I told you, my care factor is close to zero!

But thanks anyway.

Olympic airlines and Olympic Aviation are not 2 separate companies. They merged in 2003.
