Airplanes are increasingly safe, only one fatal accident out of 37 million

If we were to look at statistics alone, at current figures a person would have to fly every day, for 103,239 years, before losing their life in an air accident. Flying has become so safe that 2023 is considered the best year since commercial aviation has existed. With only one disaster – the one in Nepal with 72 victims, compared to five a year ago and the average for the five-year period 2019 – 2023. As for larger aircraft, such as the Airbus A320 and A350 or the Boeing 737 and 787, there are no there were no fatal accidents. This is calculated by Iata, the main international airline association.

In its report, the organization writes that last year there were 37 million flights that transported about 4.3 billion passengers. There were 30 accidents – of all types, fatal or otherwise – compared to 42 in 2022, or 0.8 for every million take-offs. The previous lowest ever figure was in 2017 at 1.06. However, if you look at aircraft crashes with fatalities, there was only one, a Yeti Airlines ATR 72-500 that crashed due to human error in Nepal on landing on January 15, 2023.

The single fatal accident thus brought the hazard rate from 0.11 per million flights in 2022 to 0.03 in 2023. This is also the lowest value ever, thus beating the previous positive record of 0.08 in 2015.

At the territorial level, seven of the eight macro-regions closed 2023 with a fatal accident rate equal to zero North America, Central and South America, Europe, Africa, the Middle East and North Africa, Russia and neighboring countries, North Asia . If we look at all types of accidents - even those without casualties - Europe - 0.48 per million flights, South and Central America - 0.37, North Asia zero, Middle East - 1.16, Africa - 6.38 and Russia - 1.09.

Browsing the IATA report, we note that in the period 2018-2023, 256 accidents occurred, of which 34 were fatal with a total of 1,228 victims on board and 12 more as a result of the collision on the ground. Another 51 cargo planes – that is, cargo only – crashed or had technical problems.
