Lucky Air

Lucky Air maintains a strong safety standing according to available data. As of February 23, 2024, AirlineRatings.com has awarded Lucky Air a 7/7 safety rating. This rating indicates that the airline has successfully passed incident ratings, audits, and maintains a fatality-free record.

The airline officially became a member of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) in September 2016. All IATA members are required to be registered under the IATA Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) program, which assesses an airline's operational management and control systems against internationally recognized standards. This implies that Lucky Air is IOSA certified, demonstrating its adherence to stringent safety practices.

Regarding its safety record, AeroInside lists air safety incidents for Lucky Air, with one notable incident from June 30, 2012, involving unruly passengers on an Airbus A319. However, its 7/7 safety rating on AirlineRatings.com confirms a fatality-free history.

Lucky Air operates a fleet with an average age of approximately 11 years as of January 2025, according to OneSpotter.com. Another source, PlaneMapper, suggests an average age of 13.5 years. While some older aircraft are part of the fleet, newer models like the Airbus A320neo have an average age of around 3 years, and Boeing 737-800s average 7.1 years. Generally, an aircraft's age does not inherently equate to lower safety, provided it undergoes rigorous maintenance. As an IATA member with a high safety rating, Lucky Air is expected to adhere to robust maintenance standards and regulatory oversight by the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC).
