- W69501938 abstract "Frequent fliers often depend on small commuter airlines to get from one client to the next. But are these airlines safe? And since it's impractical to cancel a business trip because of nagging doubts about airline safety, what can fliers do to better ensure a smooth flight? The federal government has intervened after a couple of well-publicized crashes. New safety standards for smaller planes include a requirement that they increase their distance from jets on takeoff and landing in order to avoid the larger planes' wakes, which have been implicated in more than one crash. In addition, Marty Salfen, senior vice-president-North America, at the International Airline Passengers Association (IAPA), suggests that fliers should be better informed about these airlines. They should remember, for example, that commuters do fly smaller aircraft and that their pilots work longer hours and generally are less experienced than those at the major airlines. It's also not always immediately clear what type of aircraft will be used when a passenger books a flight, he adds. Check with the airline about the equipment, Salfen advises, to determine whether the flight is a jet or propeller plane. If a flier is told the airline plans to use a propeller plane, he or she should consider weather conditions--especially ice--when deciding whether to fly. Although the IAPA does not advise passengers against using commuter airlines in general, Salfen says, I'd be somewhat hesitant to use a propeller plane when weather conditions are severe. Travelers who want to avoid propeller planes should investigate whether there is a jet service alternative on a given route, Salfen recommends. Sometimes regional or small carriers operate jets in smaller markets in competition with the commuter lines associated with the major airlines. Fliers also should know that no major airlines operate the commuter lines that carry their names-- American Eagle and Delta Connection are examples--and that some of these lines aren't even owned by the major airlines whose names they bear. There is a good resource available for determining the safety record of different airlines--the IAPA. Passengers who want to check the safety history of a given carrier should call the association at 800-821-4272 for information.
