Airline crashes are a tragic event and sometimes the natural response when hearing about one is to avoid flying that particular airline.
The same reaction may occur when a news story about an airline experiencing delays or an on-flight incident occurs.
This visualization serves to illuminate whether there is a correlation between airlines and flight incidents and fatalities.
One way to go about exploring this potential correlation is through
exploring two 30-year periods using the Aviation Safety Network's
database.
If the correlation is persistent between these two periods, we could
possibly conclude that specific airlines may be prone to
crashes/incidents.
In the module below, you can explore the incidents, fatal accidents, and
fatalities for Airlines between 1985 - 1999.
I've also provided some notable airlines in the table below to highlight
some airlines with relatively high incidents, accidents, and fatalities.
The higher an airline's "Rank", the closer it is to having the highest incident, fatality, or fatal accident number.
| Airline | Incidents | Fatal Accidents | Fatalities |
