Air New Zealand has also participated in a series of security improvements, like the air navigation system of the future; Real-time monitoring of your engines across your fleet and precision approaches around cloud mountains, using RNP.
Qantas loses first place
Qantas lost its number one ranking due to an incident at Perth Airport in 2018, where a combination of factors caused the crew of a Boeing 737 who had just left the track 03 rotated, will pass the stop bars and enter an active track – 06 – almost colliding with another plane 737 on its takeoff run.
The report on this complex and serious incident was not published until the end of 2020, and it's too late to include it in our security ratings of 2021.

The truth is that it seems to me that Air New Zealand is a very good airline and the truth is that I have seen that Qantas has had several accidents and I think it is good that it drops a little in positions. Good post
Note that Qantas has had only one half-serious incident as can be read.
