How safe is commercial air travel compared to everyday activities?

A new study from the Embry-Riddle Boeing Center for Aviation and Aerospace Safety evaluates U.S. commercial aviation risks alongside common hazards. Lead author Dr. Mihhail Berezovski and researchers aggregated data to provide a transparent framework for evaluating travel safety, concluding that fatal events in commercial aviation remain exceedingly rare.
