Jet Airliner Crash Data Evaluation Centre (JACDEC) is a company that provides commercial aviation safety analysis.
[citation needed]JACDEC considers the operational environment as one important factor for an airline's safety performance.
[4] The inaccuracy of the company's indexing has been debated after a list was issued for the German Newspaper Bild's website after the crash of Air France Flight 447, displaying the safety index of the world's 60 biggest airlines.
[citation needed] JACDEC's 2013 report was heavily criticized by Air India, after it was named as the 3rd least safest airline.
The report stated that for the 30 year period, Air India had 3 hull losses, while the airline reported that it had only one fatal crash and hull loss of Air India Flight 182 in that timeframe that resulted in 329 fatalities, which was caused by an act of terrorism and not a safety factor.
