US Airlines with the cleanest and dirtiest drinking water on board
The indicator of the quality of drinking water on board an aircraft is estimated in the United States using a five-point system and so far no airline has reached the highest level. Even airplanes with better water in all respects barely reach 3,3 points. However, this is better than the unit that some of America’s leading air carriers received.
The list of the best and worst US airlines for water quality on board offers to know USA Today. Оценка основана на том, насколько «здоровую» воду предлагают в самолетах.
10. Spirit Airlines
- Water quality rating: 1 (from 5)
- Number of aircraft: 135
- How many times did ADWR (water quality rule for airplanes) be violated from 2012 to 2019: 193
Researcher comment: “Spirit recorded the largest number of violations per average plane per large airline. In addition, the airline has many violations due to the inability to regularly monitor and take corrective actions as necessary. ”
9. Jetblue
- Water quality rating: 1 (from 5)
- Number of aircraft: 254
- How many times did ADNR break from 2012 to 2019: 354

JetBlue has the largest number of common ADWR violations among major airlines and a very high average number of violations per plane. "Relatively many positive samples were obtained on E. coli, many violations were recorded due to the inability to regularly monitor and take corrective actions, to collect repeated or subsequent water samples after positive results on bacteria."

8. United AIrlines
- Water quality rating: 1,2 (from 5)
- Number of aircraft: 786
- How many times did ADNR break from 2012 to 2019: 79
Комментарий исследователя: «У авиакомпании много нарушений из-за неспособности проводить регулярный мониторинг, собирать повторные или последующие образцы воды после положительных результатов на кишечную палочку. Кроме того, United ассоциируется с региональными авиакомпаниями Air Wisconsin, ExpressJet и Trans States Airlines, которые имеют очень плохие показатели по воде.»
7. American Airlines
- Water quality rating: 1,5 (from 5)
- Number of aircraft: 968
- How many times did ADNR break from 2012 to 2019: 108
Researcher comment: “On American Airlines, a very large number of water tests give a positive result for Escherichia coli. In addition, they have a relatively large number of violations for their inability to conduct routine monitoring and take corrective actions, repeat or track samples. The regional carriers PSA Airlines and Envoy Air, owned by American, also have very poor water rates on board. However, another subsidiary, Piedmont Airlines, received a high water score. ”
6. Delta air lines
- Water quality rating: 1,6 (from 5)
- Number of aircraft: 916
- How many times did ADNR break from 2012 to 2019: 213
Комментарий исследователя: «Delta является единственной авиакомпанией, которая написала сообщение в блоге о своей воде. Однако у авиакомпании было относительно высокое количество нарушений и очень большое количество положительных образцов кишечной палочки, полученной в туалетах. Также очень много нарушений из-за неспособности проводить регулярный мониторинг и из-за невыполнения корректирующих действий. Endeavour Air, дочерняя компания Delta, также не очень хороша — ее оценка 0,78″.

- Number of aircraft: 754

Комментарий исследователя: «Авиакомпания заявляет, что отбирает пробы воды вдвое чаще, чем рекомендуют руководящие принципы. Тем не менее, у нее относительно высокое среднее количество нарушений на воздушное судно. Важно отметить, что 15 из 25 нарушений авиакомпании (с 2012 года) были в последние 18 месяцев».

- Number of aircraft: 335
- How many times did ADNR break from 2012 to 2019: 2
