Operator safety tier

Strong

Modelled fatal-accident risk on the order of 1 in 6.3 million flights.

A model estimate from validated signals (the dominant factor in a flight's safety), not a measurement of this airline's own flight history. IOSA-registered; no fatal accident on record; rating tempered, too little flight record yet to earn a top rating (an absence of accidents is not yet proof of safety). Full methodology.
