A recent study published by Science Direct highlights that flying is now safer than ever, with a death risk per boarding of just one in 13.7 million from 2018 through 2022. This dramatic decrease in risk, falling at a rate of 50% per decade, emphasizes that aviation safety is continuously improving, even amidst the fears stemming from high-profile incidents, especially those involving manufacturers like Boeing.
While flying remains significantly safer than driving, perceptions of safety can be influenced heavily by recent accidents. Despite statistics showing an overall decline in airline fatalities, the anxiety surrounding Boeing planes may persist due to recent tragic events, potentially affecting passenger confidence in air travel for years to come. This perception gap underscores the difference between statistical safety and public sentiment.
