NEW YORK, Feb. 4 (Xinhua) -- In the just released 2024 Transportation Statistics Report from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, air travel is identified as the absolute safest form of transportation.
"Transportation incidents for all modes claimed 44,546 lives in 2022, of which all but 2,032 involved highway motor vehicles. Preliminary estimates for 2023 suggest a further decline in fatalities," said the report. "There were no deaths from crashes on large commercial airlines in 2023, but several hundred deaths occurred in crashes in general aviation, commuter air, and air taxi services."
