In case recent events are freaking people out - air travel is extremely safe. Air travel disasters are tragedies, but thankfully rare.
Worldwide, apart from a couple of spikes, air travel deaths have numbered around 200 per year, with a record low in 2023.
Road travel kills just under 2000 people a year just in the UK, and around 3000 per year in Germany. Roughly ten times that are seriously injured. Around 150 people die in the average hour on the world’s roads.
