As well as using extremely stale sources, the Wikipedia article fails to separate airlines from other forms of civil aviation. US airlines have a fatal crash rate very close to zero. 'General aviation', which roughly means private light aircraft, is a very different world and has roughly 1 fatal crash per 100,000 hours flown, making it less safe than driving. Chartered flights are somewhere in the middle. There's not much sense looking at the overall figure for aviation; the different categories really are very different. |
