Flying is Getting Safer

  • A New MIT study recently found that things keep getting better.
  • The risk of a fatality from commercial air travel was 1 per every 13.7 million passenger boardings globally in the 2018-2022 period — a significant improvement from 1 per 7.9 million boardings in 2008-2017 and a far cry from the 1 per every 350,000 boardings that occurred in 1968-1977, the study finds.
  • This improvement curve has been called “aerial version of Moore’s Law“.
