Abstract	This study aimed to review airline safety performance and to discover the performance sensitivity of 17 selected safety factors utilized in the measuring mechanism, namely the Airline Safety Report (ASR). The initial study of ASR was an application of the National Airline Quality Rating (AQR) and simultaneously embraced the usage of Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) software and Delphi technique. Due to the financial constraint eroding airline’s capacity in closing all identified safety deficits, prioritizing enhancement tasks for airlines is essential. This attempt needs a further investigation of safety factors recruited within ASR formula. Based on the calculation of performance sensitivity (Sp) of each selected safety factor, the authors prioritized factors that impacted safety performance substantially. The result showed that Accident and Management Quality were two most weighted categories in relation to safety performance. And fatality rate, average fleet age, and accident rate were three most critical selected factors affecting safety performance.
