AirlineRatings.com listed RJ as one of the top 20 safest airlines in the world in its list of ‘Top Twenty Safest Airlines 2020’, selected from a pool of 405 different airlines it monitors.

Among the top 20 safest airlines are four Arab airlines: Etihad, Qatar Airways, Emirates and Royal Jordanian. Australia’s Qantas topped the list, ranking first.

The safety-rating system in this list was developed based on different factors, including airlines' compliance with international regulations, the age of their fleet of aircraft, safety innovation, operational excellence and the utilization of new, more advanced, aircraft like Boeing 787 and Airbus A350.

RJ made it several times on the AirlineRatings’ Top 20 Safest Airlines list over the past few years. The rating website has become the industry standard for safety and product rating.
