How to read this table: counts are documented occurrences from official investigation sources, so they grow with fleet size, route volume and how far back a carrier's record reaches — a large, long-established airline naturally accumulates more entries than a small or young one. Occurrence counts alone say nothing about how safe a carrier is today. For context on any carrier, open its record page — yearly trends and per-flight rates (where available) live there.
Looking up the airline you are booked on?
Search the carrier, the aircraft type or your departure airport to see the full record behind these counts.

Was your flight delayed 3+ hours, cancelled, or overbooked? You may be owed up to €600.
