Passengers always think about their safety when it comes to traveling, and air travel is most commonly thought to be dangerous by many. While the world proves to be dangerous, flying via commercial flights is, in fact, the safest mode of travel as no other form of transportation is inspected, examined, and supervised as commercial aviation.

Leaders in the aviation industry see an improvement in safety performance over time, as the percentage of airline accidents in global flights continue to decrease. Not only do airlines provide enhanced technology for in-flight entertainments and premium economy class seating options, but they are also taking leaps to improve their technology and equipment to make flying even safer.
There will still be potential passengers who would have to face their fears when it comes to flying even when statistics say that air travel is the safest mode of transportation. The best way to overcome this fear is to get as educated as possible to feel comfortable when flying. In a study conducted by Dr. Arnold Barnett of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, he found that in a span of 15 years, the death risk per flight was one in 7 million.
As plane tickets get cheaper and become more affordable, the safety of the industry doesn't get compromised, rather commercial flights are studied and improved for a better flying experience for first-time and frequent fliers. The numbers are on the industry’s side, and all a fearful passenger should do is to bulk up on facts to feel as comfortable as possible while on-board a well-examined aircraft.
