Have you ever travelled with any African airlines?
What were your experiences?
I was reading an article about an Ethiopian Aircraft which crashed early this morning which has left tragic marks on the airline's impeccableafety record.

Out of your experience which African airlines are the safest?

Have you ever travelled by Egypt's airlines? I find them the worst of all. I had such a bad experience, ....travelling in mid August from Eypt to Greece with no aircondition at all, and with different sounds which could be heard while flying. I was SO scared thinking that it would be my last trip.
I found South Africa Airlines quite safe with very friendly staff and very professional on the contrary!

I feel so sorry for the families of the people lost here.

I flew with Ethiopian Airlines before and would have no worries about flying with them again. If I am not mistaken, your chances of dying in a plane crash are quite a bit less than dying in a car accident.

With that said, the loss of life in the recent disaster is very sad... sad.gif

I have taken Kenya Air and a regional company, Precision Air and found them both quite good. Flying into Tanzania is not scary at all compared to any taxi ride that you may have to and from the airport.
