Debate on carrier's ratings
Article Abstract:
Asian airlines are vigorously promoting the formulation of standard set of ratings for safety measures in the industry. A US-based consumer rights group gave Asian carriers low ratings and these carriers are debating that the standard used by the group for rating safety is relative and has needlessly caused consumers to shy away from these carriers. The loss of consumer confidence due to these reports have translated to business losses for these airlines.
