Last time I run over Brazilian statistics, being a random person inside a plane was about as dangerous as being a random person inside a bus (what is safer than a car).

There are two large features of that data. First there is the fact that scheduled fights carry more people than the other kinds, pushing the overall average into the "safe" region. Second, there is very wide difference between kinds of flight, where agricultural aviation can be more dangerous than riding a motorcycle in heavy transit.
