@acronis18 according to airsafe.com TK rate is the highest 3.6 which is the worst safety record in Europe and their FLE ( Full Loss Equivalent ) is 7.56 which is 2nd worst safety record after Aeroflot...

Star Alliance is based on code share and market interest. It has nothing to do with safety. Passenger has their own choice on individual airlines within the Star Alliance.

How many airlines are bigger than Turkish Airlines in the world?

Are they all have such "good" record in fatal accident?

[gezerbey]

Turkish Airlines is one of the best airways in Europe, last year they went a member of the Star Alliance.

turkish airlines have a bigger airplane fleet from others, If you are making much more flights than others, your accidents will be more of course. If you analyze flight/accident ratio, you will see that Turkish Airlines is more secure.

10th fatal accident for Turkish Airlines since 1970, which means one for every four years. What a good record !
