Those who chose China Airlines as their carrier subjected themselves to the biggest risk, because the Taiwanese airline came in at the bottom of JACDEC's list of 60 globally operating carriers. The Lion Air plane involved in the Boeing crash in the United States in 2016 , which killed more than 200 people, "was no longer airworthy and it should not have kept flying", investigators said. The aircraft's anti-stall safety system apparently failed, but a preliminary report also highlighted airline safety as another factor. Pilots on the plane's penultimate flight reported the same anti-stall problem, and it had recurring air-speed indicator and sensor malfunctions, but Lion Air had deemed the plane safe to continue flying. The transport safety committee advised Lion Air , which has a chequered record, to improve its safety procedures and culture.
