According to experts, the model (737-800) is considered to be the safest aircraft ever made. The 737-800 belongs to the aviation giant's next-generation aircraft which also includes 600, 700, and 900.

Statistically, the "safest" Boeing aircraft currently in service are the Boeing 777 and the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. Both aircraft have flown millions of hours with exceptionally low accident rates per million departures. The Boeing 777 is often cited as the "gold standard" for long-haul safety, with its massive twin engines and redundant flight control systems. The 787 Dreamliner, which utilizes advanced composite materials and an all-electric architecture, has also maintained an excellent safety record since its debut. In 2026, even the 737 MAX, following its comprehensive grounding and global recertification, has become one of the most scrutinized and monitored aircraft in history, with its current operational data showing safety performance on par with the legendary 737 Next Generation (NG) series. When evaluating safety, it is important to remember that modern commercial aviation is built on a "systemic" safety model where the pilot training, maintenance standards, and air traffic control infrastructure are just as critical to a safe flight as the specific model of the aircraft itself.
