of the 86 accidents, of which 8 lethal ‘ resulted in 257 fatalities in 2019, according to the Dutch flygsäkerhetskonsultfirman To70. The Aviation Safety Network (ASN) sums up the number to 20 fatal accidents and 283 deaths.
the Differences are partly due to different definitions of the environment and the context that is to be included in the statistics. The likelihood of being killed on the plane, however, is very low, according to the two organisations, ASN considers it to be one of the two-million-departures, and a To70 get it at around 5.6 million.
due to a major disaster can bring the statistics to the rail, a relatively large amount. For example, Boeing’s 737 Max-the accident in Ethiopia on march 10 and died of 157 people, with more than half of the annual figure for the start of 2019. It can also be used, which, by the year 2017, when the numbers landed on a rather low level – 44 the killing of the 10 accidents, according to the ASN or to the 14 dead in 3 accidents, according to the To70.
in the long-term point out, however, both the organisations to the risk of an accident is also reduced if the number of frequencies increases. If the risk was the same as it was twenty years ago, the number of accidents could have been no more than three times as many, according to the ASN.
