In 2025, a series of airplane crashes have resulted in over 100 fatalities, including a recent incident in the Caribbean Sea. Notable incidents this year include a midair collision in Washington DC that killed all 67 aboard and a crash in South Korea claiming 179 lives. Experts like John Cox emphasize that these accidents, while tragic, do not indicate a decline in aviation safety overall. The number of fatalities is coincidental, as aviation remains statistically the safest travel option compared to roadways.
In 2025, the number of fatalities from accidents involving commercial aircraft is now more than 100 - already about a third of the total for the whole of 2024.
Aviation safety professional John Cox said there is 'not a degradation in aviation safety' and the recent accidents are 'not related'.
