Including the Sriwijaya Air crash in Indonesia, four accidents in 2021 resulted in hull losses, meaning the aircraft was damaged beyond economic repair, says Boeing’s report. Both years were down significantly from highs of more than 70 million flight hours in 20.

Over the past two decades, aviation deaths around the world have been falling dramatically even as travel has increased. ![]() The Aviation Safety Network said on Wednesday that despite the Max crash, 2019 "was one of the safest years ever for commercial aviation." The 157 people killed in March on Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 accounted for more than half of all deaths last year worldwide in passenger airline crashes. To70 said the aviation industry spent significant effort in 2019 "focusing on so-called 'future threats' such as drones." But the Max crashes, it said, "are a reminder that we need to retain our focus on the basics that make civil aviation so safe: well-designed and well-built aircraft flown by fully informed and well-trained crews." The 737 Max has been grounded since March after an October 2018 crash in Indonesia and the crash of a Max in Ethiopia in March killed a total of 346 people. On December 23, Boeing's board said it had fired CEO Dennis Muilenburg after two fatal crashes involving the 737 Max forced it to announce it was halting output of its best-selling jetliner. Large passenger airplanes in the study are aircraft used by nearly all travelers on airlines worldwide but excludes small commuter airplanes in service, including the Cessna Caravan and some smaller turboprop airplanes, according to To70. The fatality numbers consist of passengers, air crew such as flight attendants, and any people on the ground killed in a plane crash. To70 said the fatal accident rate for large airplanes in commercial passenger air transport was just 0.18 fatal accident per million flights in 2019, or an average one fatal accident every 5.58 million flights, a significant improvement over 2018. In 2018, there were 160 accidents, including 13 fatal ones, resulting in 534 deaths, the firm said. The aviation consulting firm To70 said there were 86 accidents involving large commercial planes - including eight fatal incidents - resulting in 257 fatalities last year. WASHINGTON - The number of people killed in large commercial airplane crashes fell by more than 50% in 2019 despite a high-profile Boeing 737 Max crash in Ethiopia in March, a Dutch consulting firm said on Wednesday. ![]() ![]() Account icon An icon in the shape of a person's head and shoulders. ![]()
