Turbulence. Heights. Engine sounds. All make flying feel dangerous. But facts say the opposite: Air travel is the safest form of transport in India – and the world."
"Your chance of dying per trip (global average): Car: 1 in 5,000 Train: 1 in 50,000 Flight: 1 in 11 million

India handles over 2.5 million flights per year. Even with record traffic, accidents remain extremely rare. India had zero fatal crashes on scheduled flights from 2021 to 2023
Flying is built on systems, not luck. Pilots undergo thousands of flight hours and annual re-certification. Aircraft are checked in four levels (A-D) regularly, and flights are monitored in real-time by ATC every second.
Engine failure or sudden decompression? Even then, emergency landings save lives. Planes are tested for failure, and crews are trained for crisis. That’s why 99.999% of flights land safely.
The media highlights rare incidents, but your flight is one of millions of smooth journeys. Trust the numbers, the training, and the system. Because flying isn’t just fast – it’s incredibly safe.
