In 2025, air travel fatalities have surged, with at least 260 deaths reported after an Air India flight crashed shortly after takeoff. This year has seen multiple high-profile incidents, including a collision that killed 67 and another that claimed 13 lives. Experts suggest that while the industry upholds high safety standards, the current number of deaths has raised concerns about air travel safety. However, some argue this spike may not indicate a long-term trend, reiterating that flying remains statistically safe.
With only one confirmed survivor, yesterday's tragedy brings this year's total airflight fatalities to 460 in just the first six months of the year.
While the aviation industry maintains exceptionally high safety standards, the recent string of high-profile incidents has raised concerns that flying may be becoming more risky.
