The availability of aviation safety information is of vital importance to the air travel consumer. This information can provide both a positive benefit to the air travel consumer and also serve as a key element in the marketing of airline services according to Dr. Tim Becker, a noted airline consultant. At the International Forum on Airline Quality, held March 6 & 7, 1992, in Washington, D.C., Dr. Becker and others reported on the value and benefit of this information to both consumers and airlines alike. Presently, a comprehensive measure of airline safety does not exist. Research verifies that such an indicator is of significant interest to the aviation consumer. The Airline Quality Rating (AQR) is regarded as perhaps the most comprehensive measure of overall airline quality yet conceived. An explanation of these AQR factors which include data regarding airline safety is presented.
