Previous research has suggested that cargo operators suffer a disproportionally high number of accidents. The degree of unsafety could however not properly be quantified due to lack of data. The objective of the underlying study was to quantify the safety record of different categories of cargo operators by calculating the accident rate, i.e. the number of accidents per million flights. Flight cycle data of Western-built jet- and turboprop aircraft was combined with aircraft ownership data to calculate the number of flights for different operator/aircraft combinations. This was subsequently combined with accident data to calculate accident rates.
