The incident of passenger plane crash in South Korea and Azerbaijan shocked the country. Plane accidents are happening every day all over the world, sometimes due to bird collisions and sometimes due to technical faults or bad weather.
According to a report by Aviation Safety, an organization that monitors aircraft accidents, there will be 109 aircraft accidents worldwide in 2023.
According to a report by Aviation Safety, an organization that monitors aircraft accidents, there were 109 aircraft accidents worldwide in 2023, in which 120 people died. According to this, there have been an average of 9 plane accidents every month in which 10 people have died. According to Aviation Safety, the United States had the highest number of 34 plane crashes last year.
813 plane crashes occurred worldwide between 2017 and 2023
According to data from Aviation Safety, an organization that monitors aircraft accidents, 813 aircraft crashed worldwide between 2017 and 2023. 1,473 passengers have died in 813 incidents of plane crashes. Most air accidents occur during landing. In these seven years, there have been 261 accidents during landing. After this, 212 accidents have occurred during the flight itself. There have been 14 accidents in India during this period.
According to aviation safety, most air accidents occur during takeoff and then landing. There were 109 such accidents last year, of which 37 occurred during takeoff and 30 during landing. Although hundreds of plane crashes occur around the world every year, air travel is considered the safest.
If we look at the statistics, there have been an average of 200 plane accidents every year in the last 7 years. And hundreds of people have lost their lives in just one year. But still flight travel is considered the safest.
Although air travel is considered the safest!
Anthony Brickhouse, a professor at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Florida, told CNN that air travel is the safest form of transportation. Flying at an altitude of 38,000 feet is safer than driving on the ground, he said.
According to a report by the International Air Transport Association (IATA), more than 37 lakh aircraft will fly worldwide in 2023. Despite this, people lost their lives only in isolated accidents. Last year, a plane crashed in Nepal, killing 72 people. IATA publishes a report on flight safety every year.
An IATA report claims that one accident occurs for every 12.6 lakh aircraft flying. IATA claims that when a person travels by air every day for 1,03,239 years, there will come a day when he will have to face a fatal accident.
A few years ago, Professor Arnold Barnett of Massachusetts Institute of Technology also did a report on flight safety, in which it was claimed that if 1.34 crore passengers travel by air between 2018 and 2022, only 1 of them will die.
