It's Never Been Safer to Fly
Air travel keeps getting safer
Traveling by plane is safer than ever
Many airline passengers naturally worry about flying. Despite these fears, commercial air travel keeps getting safer according to a new study by an MIT professor. The study tracks the continued decrease in fatal accidents involving commercial airlines. In fact, the study found that the fatal accident rate for commercial airlines has decreased by more than 90% since the 1970s. This means that it is now incredibly rare for a commercial airline to be involved in a fatal accident.
New flight procedures to reduce noise from aircraft
In addition to the decrease in fatal accidents, there have also been significant improvements in the safety of commercial air travel. For example, new flight procedures have been developed to reduce noise from aircraft departing and arriving at airports. These procedures have helped to reduce noise pollution and improve the quality of life for people living near airports.
Improvements in safety, efficiency, capacity, and environmental performance
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is constantly working to improve the safety of commercial air travel. The FAA has implemented a number of initiatives to improve the safety of commercial air travel, including:
- Requiring airlines to use new technologies to improve the safety of their aircraft
- Increasing the number of FAA inspectors who oversee the safety of commercial airlines
- Working with other countries to improve the safety of international air travel
The FAA's efforts to improve the safety of commercial air travel have been successful. As a result of these efforts, it is now safer than ever to fly on commercial airlines.
