For a trip to or around Asia, the adage "You get what you pay for" may ring true. However, air travel is not an area in which to skimp unless you have done your homework. Safety is crucial and knowing some of Asia's safest airlines could prove to be useful information when planning your travels.

EVA Air

This Taiwanese carrier has an impeccable safety record. They have received the Gold Wing award from Taiwan's Civil Aeronautics Administration and have been rated one of the top 10 safest airlines in the world according to Aero International Magazine.

Cathay Pacific

Based in Hong Kong, Cathay Pacific Airlines are consistent award winners and have been chosen by Aero International Magazine as one of the safest airlines in the world.

Malaysian Airlines

In operation since 1947, Malaysian Airlines has earned multiple awards from Skytrax UK.

Singapore Airlines

Consistently earning high marks for comfort and service, Singapore Air is also one of the most trusted carriers in the Asian region.

Thai Airways

The safety record for the planes in the international fleet is higher than the record for the low budget domestic partners but the company is placing a strong emphasis on safety and training.
