According to the Telegraph the world's 10 safest airlines include ones from Taiwan and China and three which fly the UK to Manila route.
Omitted from that list is another UK to Manila carrier that's worthy of a mention as according to Wikipedia this airline has never had any fatalities from a crash. It probably doesn't get included in the list due to the fact it's suffered a few Lebanese hijacks during the 80's - Kuwait Airways.
