Yeah, but the US puts significantly more miles on these planes and yet not a single accident has happened. So it's not the plane, unless these foreign airlines are getting the defunct planes. It has to be either poor maintenance or poor pilot training.


Definitely maintenance, pilot training, language, airport feature, topography and climate will factor in.

Id rather look at it in the lens of "is this flight I am booking safe enough" over "US is safer than Non-US"
