I Flew an Airline With a 1 STAR Safety Rating. Here's What Happened Brian: Great video, thank you. Reminds me of the early eighties when I took a Uganda Airlines 707 from Nairobi to Entebbe. It seemed to be a home-converted, full passenger to combi plane. On this flight passengers were seated in the rear of the empty, curtained off freight area which was acting like an amplified drum. After a very shakey take-off we gained altitude and the guy in the seat ahead of me leant on his arm rest which promptly fell off into the aisle. Unpeturbed a female crew picked up the armrest and, with a few deft taps, refixed it to the seat! I was tempted to enquire if she could do that if a wing fell off but I thought better of it!

Hi Noel, I hardly ever comment, but had to on your video. Been travelling to Bangka and Belitung several times for business reasons (reclamation of former tin mining sites) and took your flight probably 10+ times. Did not die, always had a great time. However, a couple of times I flew an older embraer which was quite a bumpy ride through tropic rain clouds. Must have been the nearest I had come to death in my life: )
Fun fact: Australian mining company BHP Billiton was named after Island Belitung (Tanjung Pandan) you had your stopover!

Every airline has a lot of flights a day, so your chances of something bad happening if you take one flight is minimal, and like winning a bad lottery. Now working as a flight attendant on that airline, is a completely different story. If you've been working for a while, a certain percentage will have something awful happen. That's why they have such a laisse faire view on passenger safety.

I hate Jakarta and definitely hate that airport. No toilets by the gate and no food either. In order to use the bathroom you have to go back through security and then go through again getting back to the gate. The people of Jakarta are the most unfriendly to foreigners of anywhere in Southeast Asia. Never again.

I considered flying Sriwijaya Air when they flew the Jakarta-Singapore route back when but the timings were never right.
Yes, this is a partner airline to Nam Air. Sriwijaya was set up first and the set up Nam Air when they wanted a full-service airline. Make of it what you will. :)

I am so sorry to say this but umm I think your wrong sriwijaya air isnt a 1 star safety rating of course I know sriwijaya has a bunch of crashes and accidents but in my opinion sriwijaya is a great airline but viewed by the international world as one of the worst airlines in Indonesia.

Risky fella lmao. the takeoff is part of whats known as de rated thrust (cost index # fed into the fmgc based on pax and cargo load. But yes, if one engine were to fail, you may end up In the grass / airport security wall. :)

statisticly speaking flying on one of these airlines with older material is still about 10E2 times safer than crossing the road in Newcastle when you are a tourist from Germany looking to the left before walking on

That is bad they should know that already ( safety procedures). Just found your videos today and it was brilliant. Have you ever heard of or watched go travel your way josh Cahill you two together would be brilliant.

I remember luxor air flying frankfurt ti hurghadema, md83 mire than 40 years old. I sit last row with now window. Its so loud but i exit the plane in one peace so everything is fine
reply

It's a shame airlines over there can't get funding to make them safer, but why does the cabin crew get trained when already hired? When they should have been trained in the first place.

13: 00 if the person in front of you is annoying you van just kick hard an yeet the seat under him ps at 14: 09 i seriosly though you were underwater
reply

Noel, you dont get to call yourself old n knackered until you pass 50. . Im old n knackered. I got 10 years on you. Keep the flight videos coming.
reply

everyone thinks cabin crew are only tough serious robots in a suit but when you hear them doing human stuff it really changes your mind.

LOL that manscaped logo looks like a pair of testicles then you popped up behind the hedge with a pair of shears. Was this all deliberate?
reply

Watched a few of youre videos now. I wish some of them where shorter but I loved the ones I have seen. Just realised I wasnt subbed
reply

I dont even like flying well established long time airlines, I wouldnt fly these lesser known tin can airlines for a million dollars
reply

im kinda terrified of my flight from indonesia to Abu Dhabi then to London, the good news is its on Etihad and Business class. :I
reply

What is the most useful airline safety measure?
Would annual deaths per million passenger miles indicate comparative safety?

reply

Continental which merged with United and became part of it. Continental still lives in spirit on the tail of united planes.
