Thanks, this is excellent information. Looking at the incident rates, it’s striking just how safe the Airbus A320 is, far safer than any other plane (whether Boeing of Airbus). It’s also striking how much less safe the A310 is than the A320, although the Boeing 747 still comes in last place by a slight margin.
The A310 and the A320 are planes from two different generations.
With the A320 you have more refinement, more advances in technology, and thus more safety.
Technology wise, it’s like comparing a P-51 with a F-86 or a 727 with a 757.
