Find us on social Safety Rating Criteria The safety rating for each airline is based on a comprehensive analysis utilising information from the worlds aviation governing body and leading association along with governments and crash data. Each airline has the potential to earn seven stars. For more information see the disclaimer. The 7 star safety assessment criteria for all airlines is as follows Is the airline IOSA certified If yes two stars are awarded if not, no star is given. What is IOSA Certification The IATA Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) certification audit is an internationally recognised and accepted evaluation system designed to assess the operational management and control systems of an airline. IOSA uses internationally recognised audit principles and is designed to conduct audits in a standardised and consistent manner. Airlines are re evaluated every two years. Registering for IOSA certification and auditing is not mandatory therefore an airline that does not have IOSA certification may have either failed the IOSA audit or alternatively chosen not to participate. IATA (International Air Transport Association) Is the airline on the European Union (EU) Blacklist If no a full star is awarded if yes then no star is given. What is the EU Blacklist A list of airlines banned from flying into European airspace due to safety concerns arising from alleged poor aircraft maintenance and/or regulatory oversight. Airlines banned by the EU may have a flawless safety record however the potential risk towards passenger safety is deemed by the EU as too high and a ban is put in place. Has the airline maintained a fatality free record for the past 10 years If yes the airline is awarded a full star if not then no star is given. A fatality is deemed as the death of crew and/or passengers whilst on board the aircraft due to an accident. If deaths occurred through acts of terrorism, highjackings OR pilot suicide they have not been included. If an airline suffered a fatal accident through no fault of its own such as a runway incursion on the active runway (an incident where an unauthorized aircraft, vehicle or person is on a runway) this has also not been included. Is the airline FAA endorsed If yes a full star is awarded if not, no star is given. What is FAA endorsement In the United States, the Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) has a list that bans countries (not airlines) from flying into American Airspace. The ban arises from a deemed inability to adhere to international aviation standards for aircraft operations and maintenance. According to the FAA Web site, ldquothose that do not meet these international standards cannot initiate new service and are restricted to current levels of any existing service to the United States while corrective actions are underwayrdquo. An airline or airlines from a prohibited country may have a flawless safety record however the potential risk to safety is deemed too high by the FAA to allow operations in American airspace. Does the country of airline origin meet all 8 ICAO safety parameters If yes TWO stars are awarded to the airline. However, if the one criteria that is below the average is so by less than 15 per cent it is considered a pass. If 5 to 7 of the criteria are met one star is awarded. If the country only meets up to four criteria no star is given. What is ICAO and what are the 8 parameters The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) was created to promote the safe and orderly development of international civil aviation throughout the world. It sets standards and regulations necessary for aviation safety, security, efficiency and regularity, as well as for aviation environmental protection. The 8 ICAO audit parameters that pertain to safety are Legislation, Organization, Licensing, Operations, Airworthiness, Accident Investigation, Air Navigation Service and Aerodromes. For more information on a particular country visit: icao. int/safety/Pages/USOAP-Results. aspx. Has the airlines fleet been grounded by the countrys governing aviation safety authority due to safety concerns If yes an additional star will be taken off the total for five years from the time of grounding. Does the airline operate only Russian built aircraft If yes an additional star will be taken off the total. 1 star if flat beds in business class on long haul routes. No star if no beds. 1/2 star if angled beds or a mixture of angled and flat beds across the fleet. NOTE: For airlines that do not operate long haul routes and therefore do not need beds but have business class in a 2-2 seating configuration in single aisle aircraft they are awarded 1 star seating configuration in 3-3 with the middle seat left free awards the airline a 1/2 star if there is not enough information to be sure a 1/2 star is awarded. Meals 1 star if provision of full meal in economy. No star if a passenger has to pay for meals and alcoholic beverages. 1/2 star if passengers have to pay for meals or if passengers have to pay for alcohol on international routes or if the airline does not offer alcoholic beverages at all regardless of religious beliefs. NOTE: Provision of alcohol on domestic and/or short haul routes has not been rated as airlines have complex rules based around flight time, route and time of day. Blankets and pillows 1 star if provided by airline or if passengers have to pay for blankets on domestic and/or short haul routes but they are available. No star if not provided or unavailable. 1/2 star if blankets need to be paid for on medium and long haul routes. Editors discretionary Editors draw on their collective 150 years plus experience to evaluate airlines based on personal experience and/or extensive industry knowledge to award the final star. Does Boeing8217s 787 Dreamliner Live Up To Its Name Thanks to my Dad I am a huge aviation geek. I love discovering new airlines, flying new aircrafts, or even just revisit my old favourite 8211 hello Boeing 747-800. Needless to say, when I was emailed about flying with Royal Brunei Airlines to travel on their new Boeing 787 Dreamliner I said yes. There is a lot of new technology in the Dreamliner and my curiosity was piqued and excited for their aircrafts launch in Australia. Consulting my friend Tyler, an aerospace engineer, he chatted animatedly about his thoughts and the specs of the 787 8211 it8217s the first time using composite materials on a commercial airliner, titanium was used to create a lighter and stronger body, 20 less fuel consumed than the predecessor (Boeing 767), engine nacelles with noise reducing chevrons8230 the list went on. While I appreciated the knowledge, I just wanted to answer one question: does the Dreamliner offer a better flight experience The Slightly-Biased-Because-I8217m-A-Boeing-Fan Review of the Dreamliner 787 Heading straight to the boarding gate I didn8217t have time to appreciate the design of the plane when leaving Melbourne Airport. I got a glimpse of the nose and part of a redesigned wing, closer mimicking a bird8217s wing . through the partially obstructed window before walking down the jetbridge, following the bright lights towards the smiling Royal Brunei crew. I was so excited I almost forgot to say hello to them Though the new plane smell had worn away a little 8211 the 787 has been operating on the Melbourne to London (via. Brunei) route since April 8211 the excitement of the flight was still evident with the crew eagerly sharing their experience onboard and citing that they preferred to work on the Dreamliner over the airlines other planes. Ambiance One of the goals for the Dreamliner was to connect passengers to the flying experience through space, lighting and the windows. One thing you8217ll immediately notice is the size of the windows. The Dreamliner 8216s windows are 60 bigger than previous models which means no more craning your neck from the aisle seat to see the view outside. Another feature that has disappeared is the window shades replacing the window shades is electrochromatic window shades which means that at a press of a button the windows seem to haze over and enter what I8217d like to refer to as 8220sunglasses mode8221. You can still see out of the windows but the sunlight doesn8217t filter in and can adjust it across five levels. Personally, as a person who needs complete darkness to sleep, these windows weren8217t fantastic for a day flight however for those wanting to see outside the window throughout the whole flight this is a great feature. I thought I8217d found something to dislike about the aircraft when I saw how small the overhead baggage compartment looked, but opening it up it was huge Being redesigned to offer maximum space 8211 Boeing says that each passenger onboard could bring a roll-aboard bag and would still fit comfortably 8211 but the swooping design curves upwards giving the cabin an open, spacious feel. Boeing also says that the Dreamliner8217s new smart LED lighting system will help reduce jet lag through its ambient colour system that imitates the sky and the crew can adjust depending on the situation. For boarding, Royal Brunei greeted us with a bright blue hues that imitated the natural skies outside. As the cabin dimmed for take-off, the lights danced from blue to a deep bronze and finally a deep violet, before raising the colour from the sky blue to a warm yellow when meal time came around. On the second leg of my journey from Brunei to Dubai a crew member accidentally pressed the wrong button after take-off and the lights through the cabin turned into a technicolour dream before quickly being corrected and the light sky blue hues and jokes about 8220where8217s the disco held onboard8221 were exchanged between my seat mate and I. There were two things I noticed as I disembarked in London. One, I didn8217t drink as much water as usual on the three flights. Two, the air didn8217t have that musty, kinda nasty long-haul flight smell that leaves me gasping in fresh air when landing. I later found out that the Dreamliner8217s cabin environment has some very sophisticated technology allowing for lower altitude levels, higher cabin humidity levels to combat the feeling of dryness by the end of the flights and a better air filtration system to eliminate smells and airborne bacteria. Features onboard Along with improving the passengers visual experience onboard the Dreamliner, Boeing have tried to improve onboard comfort for all passengers. Flying business class meant that once the meals were done I could kick back and watch a film in my lie flat bed. Yes, you read that right, a fully lie flat bed that has a length of just under two metres (that8217s 6 feet 5 inches), including the personal ottoman, which comes complete with a very fluffy quilt and pillow designed especially for sleep 8211 ahh. bliss The ottoman was also very handy as the front half lifts up, exposing the storage space below, for easy access to small bags or items throughout the flight.. The bathrooms are a bit of a treat as well. All bathrooms are equipped with motion sensors on the sink tap and toilet flush. When you flush the toilet, the lid will be released, meaning you won8217t come in to find the toilet lid up any more There8217s also a pull down stand for tying shoe laces and for those brave enough there8217s also a bidet I do think there8217s still room to make a few tweaks to the design. I found the power socket and USB port in Business class to be in kind of awkward position. Unlike other airlines putting it at the base of the centre console it8217s located in the 8216storage space8217 underneath the centre arm rest. Also, unlike Royal Brunei8217s old business class design 8211 which I didn8217t have the chance to fly and only seen photos of 8211 there is no pocket to store your tablet or laptop . The storage slots, 2 for each passenger, has been earmarked for 8216literature only8217 though under the shared centre console is where Royal Brunei store their inflight magazine Muhibah. To make these four nooks more useful perhaps Royal Brunei could put open-close latches on them so that customers could store a laptop or tablet without worry that it would fall out, or to make it one larger storage 8216locker8217 space where passengers could store a small handbag or inflight essentials. Finally, I thought that there wasn8217t a lot of privacy in the business class cabin. Though the seats were more comfortable, though a little more padding would be nice, I do prefer flying in a seat design that offers a little more privacy, particularly when I8217m travelling solo, such as the pod-style or herringbone layout some aircrafts have. I know that Qatar8217s Boeing 787 Dreamliner offers a business class pod so I8217m keen to travel with them to experience the difference. Additional Thoughts I really enjoyed my first experience on Boeing8217s 787. The Dreamliner, coupled with Royal Brunei8217s super attentive staff, made the trip from Melbourne to London a breeze. I8217m not sure if it was the new technology or sleeping quite well that left me feeling a lot better than I normally do after a long-haul flight though after nearly 27-hours of travel I am ready to stay on solid ground for a few days before flying back to Melbourne with a short stopover in Brunei. During the flight I had some time to chat with some of Royal Brunei8217s cabin crew to find out their opinion on the Dreamliner. One thing was evident when talking to each of the staff members was that they were excited to be flying onboard the Dreamliner and seemed passionate about the product. 8220My skin, it feels so much nicer, less dry, after flying the 787,8221 one crew member assured me, while another reminded me about the smooth ride technology that assisted pilots in detecting and then adjusting the wings to minimise turbulence, something much appreciated during meal service by both crew and passengers. Come on Nicole, does the Dreamliner offer a better flight experience It was the little things that made my experience onboard the Dreamliner a little bit better. It was the sense of space . reducing the sense of claustrophobia and the air quality onboard. It was flying through turbulence but seeming to glide over gently instead of feeling like I was stuck on a rollercoaster and having that extra inch or two of space to relax. The jury is still out if the Dreamliner is quieter than other aircrafts . On one leg I thought it sounded louder than usual and the other legs quieter. I8217m waiting for my return journey to decide. What about the claims that the Dreamliner can reduce jet lag . Landing in London I am usually knocked out for two to three days with jet lag I8217ll go to bed at 8pm and wake up near midday. This time, I had an early night the evening I landed but was up and ready to begin exploring London by 9am. I want to say that it was because of the Dreamliner8217s technology but I8217m waiting for my return flight to decide. Does Boeings Dreamliner 787 offer a better flying experience I really think it does. Now it8217s over to you Would you choose a particular airline or flight to experience a certain aircraft What would you like to see Boeing engineers do to improve your inflight experience Details Royal Brunei Airlines currently operates the Boeing Dreamliner 787 daily between Melbourne 8211 Bandar Seri Begawan 8211 Dubai 8211 London .

Did you notice any improvements with the in-flight food/beverage service I8217m sure it depends on the airline, but I wonder if they8217ve been able to squeeze in any extra features into the galley area. I hope to see the day when espresso machines are standard8230 Anthony June 17, 2017 at 4:14 pm Lauren, espresso machines are standard on Alitalia aren8217t they July 2, 2017 at 5:24 pm I flew Dreamliner almost 2 years ago on my way to/from China (I took Qatar Airways then) and so far it was the best airpline I8217ve ever been in. Even after 10 hours flight I was all ready to explore Doha and on both way I had no jetlag at all. I8217d say it8217s the best plane for long distance journeys July 2, 2017 at 11:39 pm Oh thats coooooool I hadn8217t really thought about the type plane I was flying in until now, interesting, and it8217d be great to fly with less bumps too. No way, they have figured out how to reduce jet lag Now that is worth flying with The Dreamliner. July 4, 2017 at 8:00 pm I flew on one of Norwegian8217s dreamliner8217s about a year ago. It was the best flight I had, I can8217t say more than that because I slept from the second I got on the plane until I was woken by a staff member to put my belt back on (I8217d managed to wangle 3 seats all to myself and as I am 4ft nothing spread across the lot). Sleeping through an entire flight is entirely unusual for me as I have a fear of flying, so all I can say is it must8217ve been pretty awesome for me to sleep all the way through. July 5, 2017 at 12:34 am They look really neat. I8217ve never thought about the type of plane I fly in before 8211 I have no real idea if I have flown in one or not. Neat post July 6, 2017 at 1:59 pm I flew on one of the new Dreamliners from Mumbai to Frankfurt and I loved the experience. The cabins were more comfortable, the storage was spacious, and the lighting system helped me sleep better. I8217m hoping more airlines start upgrading their fleets
