All of us like travelling abroad. Sometimes out destinations are far away and we need to get there by plane. But this means of transport is not so cheap indeed. But what to do if you want to get overseas? So many people in this case choose such an option as budget airlines. Although budget airlines appeared more than 30 years ago, not all people trust them. Some passengers think that in an effort to minimize the cost of tickets, low-costers go to saving measures that affect the safety of flights. But in fact, this is not so.

In this article you will find a list of the safest budget airlines. The list was compiled by the popular specialized website AirlineRatings.com based on data on incidents over the last 10 years and the results of the comprehensive safety audit of the International Air Transport Association (IATA).
