Why this rating

Based on EASA and FAA notices and monitoring sources.

Routings are modelled corridors, not tracked flights.

Some routes aren't covered yet. If yours is missing, that's a gap, not an assessment.

Scores compare route options; they are not safety ratings. Always check with your airline before booking.
