The table shows that Sri Lanka had the least number of air accidents in all the years. When 2005 and 2007 witnessed two accidents each, the remaining two years saw no accidents at all. It is followed by Bangladesh where the year 2007 went without any accidents but the preceding years, 2005 and 2006 recoded four accidents each, and in the final year 2008, there was only one.

Conversely, Pakistan had the highest number of accidents in all the years put together, say 17 accidents distributed in descending order, 6,5,4,2 representing 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008. And finally China stands close to Pakistan. When the first three years had same number of accidents, three each, the year 2008 recorded only one air accident constituting 11 accidents, all the years’ put together.
In short, Sri Lanka is the only country which had two zero accident in five years. It is followed by Bangladesh, with one accident-free aviation year.
