No major accidents involving EU-registered aircraft were registered in , , and However, was marked by the crash of a German aircraft in the French Alps fatalities and the accident on the Sinai Peninsula Egypt involving an Irish-registered aircraft on a charter flight fatalities.
In July an aircraft registered in Spain, but leased to an Algerian operator, crashed in Mali fatalities. In , an accident involving a French-registered aircraft, operated by a Russian company, crashed in Irkutsk Russia. This incident accounted for deaths that year. In , fatalities were victims of a crash of a Cyprus registered aircraft close to Athens. There have also been other fatal air transport accidents in the airspace of the European Union, involving aircraft that were not registered in the European Union.
Figure 3 presents the number of all fatalities in commercial air transport accidents since on EU territory, regardless of whether the aircraft involved were registered in an EU member State or in another country.
However, the previously mentioned accidents involving an Irish-registered aircraft on the Sinai Peninsula Egypt and a French-registered aircraft in Irkutsk Russia are not included in the data presented in Figure 3, as these occurred outside EU territory. The year experienced a particularly high number of fatalities. This was in large part caused by three major crashes: a French aircraft in the Vosges mountains in France 87 deaths , a Dutch aircraft at Faro Portugal airport 56 fatalities, injured and an Israeli-registered cargo plane in an Amsterdam suburb 47 fatalities, of which 43 on the ground.
The only years when not a single person was killed in an air transport accident in the European Union were and Aerial work denotes the operation of aircraft for specialised services, such as agriculture, construction, photography, surveying, observation and patrol, search and rescue as well as aerial advertisement. Between and , the number of persons killed in Aerial work accidents involving aircraft registered in EU Member States fluctuated between 8 and The death toll in was 18 persons In , half of the 18 fatalities registered occurred in Sweden, due to parachute drops.
This accident led to a considerably higher number of fatalities in than the year annual average, although the actual number of accidents with fatalities was in line with the year average. General aviation aeroplanes and helicopters consists of all civil aviation operations other than commercial air transport and specific types of aerial work operations. He found that over the fifteen years between and , the death risk per flight was one in seven million.
That means that any time you board a flight on a major carrier in this country, your chance of being in a fatal accident is one in seven million. In fact, based on this incredible safety record, if you did fly every day of your life , probability indicates that it would take you nineteen thousand years before you would succumb to a fatal accident.
Nineteen thousand years! Perhaps you have occasionally taken the train for your travels, believing that it would be safer. Think again. Based on train accidents over the past twenty years, your chances of dying on a transcontinental train journey are one in a million. Those are great odds, mind you. But flying coast-to-coast is ten times safer than making the trip by train.
How about driving , our typical form of transportation? There are approximately one hundred and thirty people killed daily in auto accidents. In , five hundred million airline passengers were transported an average distance of eight hundred miles, through more than seven million takeoffs and landings, in all kinds of weather conditions, with a loss of only thirty-nine lives.
A sold-out jet would have to crash every day of the week, with no survivors, to equal the highway deaths per year in this country. Barnett of MIT compared the chance of dying from an airline accident versus a driving accident, after accounting for the greater number of people who drive each day. Large commercial airplanes had 0. More than half of all deaths in the To70 review were the people killed in January when a Ukrainian plane was shot down in Iranian airspace.
The second deadliest incident was the crash of a Pakistan airliner in May in which 98 people died. Large passenger airplanes covered by the statistics are used by nearly all travellers on airlines but exclude small commuter airplanes in service. Dean, Kerry M.

I started dating my boyfriend still, but at the time I knew he traveled a lot. I was so scared to fly! I ended up flying out to see him and alone at that!
Well I got there and since I flew about 6 other times with him. I have these pilots in control on me and my life! All I still think about is crashing. All I think of is if we crash we all die!
