Aviation websiteAirlineRatings.com has just released its annual list of the world's 10 safest airlines.

Once again, Australian airline Qantas grabs the top spot.

Rounding out the rest of the top 10 in alphabetical order are: Air New Zealand, British Airways, Cathay Pacific Airways, Emirates, Etihad Airways, EVA Air, Finnair, Lufthansa and Singapore Airlines.

AirlineRatings.com's rating system takes into account audits from aviation's governing bodies and lead associations as well as government audits and the airlines' fatality records.

It also examines airlines' operational histories, incident records and operational excellence.

Of the 449 airlines it monitors, 149 have the top seven-star safety ranking.

This year, the site also included a list of the top 10 safest low cost airlines for 2015.
