Fed: Qantas "probably" safest airline in world: Dixon

Qantas chief executive GEOFF DIXON says his airline remains probably the safest in
the world .. despite three forced landings from mid-air emergencies in just over a week.

Mr DIXON denies a systemic problem caused the three incidents .. but acknowledges the
widespread coverage being generated by the run of safety issues.

He's told ABC radio three incidents in just over a week isn't necessarily an extraordinary
situation.

Mr DIXON says around the world on any day airlines are forced to turn back flights.
