Hong Kong Express Airways (HK Express) has once again been selected as the "World's Safest Low-Cost Airline for 2026" by the international airline safety and product rating organization AirlineRatings, marking its second consecutive year in the top spot globally, further affirming its excellence in flight safety and operational stability.
Jeanette Mao, Chief Executive Officer of Hong Kong Express, stated that safety is the core of the airline's operations, and every operational aspect is prioritized for safety. All commercial airlines, including low-cost carriers, must adhere to the same stringent international safety and regulatory requirements, and the operational model does not compromise the airline's commitment to safety. This honor once again demonstrates that passengers can enjoy high-value tickets while also receiving world-class safety assurance. To date, Hong Kong Express has safely transported over 35 million passengers and will continue to focus on network expansion, providing reliable and safe air services across Asia.
Hong Kong Express has maintained a "Seven-Star Safety Rating" from AirlineRatings for 12 consecutive years and became the world’s first low-cost airline to receive the "Seven-Star Plus Safety Rating" last year.
The selection of AirlineRatings' "World's Safest Low-Cost Airline" is conducted through a rigorous assessment by aviation experts and experienced pilots, covering multiple criteria, including serious accident records over the past two years, accident occurrence rates, fleet size and age, fatal accident records, pilot professional skills and training levels, as well as whether the airline holds a valid International Air Transport Association (IATA) Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) certification and meets the standards set by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
