9. Luxair (Luxembourg)

Number of Aviation Incidents Since 2000: 2

Number of Fatal Incidents: 1

Total Fatalities: 20

Luxair ranks 9th in our list of airlines with the worst safety records in the developed world. It is the only passenger-carrying Full Service Carrier based in Luxembourg, and has been operating since 1948. Luxair has a current fleet size of 17 operating to various destinations within and outside Luxembourg. According to the ASN Database, there have been just two incidents associated with Luxair since 2000, but one of them was fatal, killing 20 people. A Luxair Fokker 50 aircraft encountered a fatal crash in 2002, killing 18 of 19 passengers and two of three flight crew members. Since Luxair began its operations in 1948, there have been just three incidents and only the one fatal incident described above, so it earns a bit of a hard-luck position on this list, as its safety record has otherwise been very good.
