Flyings Never Been Safer Says Mit Study

Flying has never been safer, says MIT study

A study published in August finds that commercial air travel is getting safer on a worldwide basis

Flying can be a nerve-wracking experience for many people, but a new study published in August finds that commercial air travel is getting safer on a worldwide basis.

The study, which was conducted by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), looked at data from the International Air Transport Association (IATA) on fatal accidents involving commercial passenger flights from 1990 to 2021.

The study found that the number of fatal accidents per million departures has decreased by more than 50% since 1990.

The study also found that the rate of fatal accidents in the United States has been even lower than the worldwide average, with only one fatal accident per million departures in the past decade.

The study's findings are consistent with other recent studies that have found that commercial air travel is getting safer

A study published in the Journal of Air Transport Management in 2021 found that the number of fatal accidents per million departures has decreased by 80% since 1970.

A study published in the journal Risk Analysis in 2022 found that the risk of dying in a commercial airliner accident is about 1 in 20 million.

The decrease in the number of fatal accidents is due to a number of factors

These factors include improvements in aircraft safety technology, better pilot training, and more stringent safety regulations.

The study's findings are good news for air travelers, and they suggest that commercial air travel is getting safer all the time.

Here are some tips for staying safe when flying

  • Book your flight with a reputable airline that has a good safety record.
  • Make sure you arrive at the airport early so you have plenty of time to check in and go through security.
  • Pay attention to the safety instructions given by the flight crew.
  • Stay in your seat and wear your seat belt during takeoff and landing.
  • In the event of an emergency, follow the instructions of the flight crew.
