What is airline safety? Air safety is the theory, investigation, analysis, and categorization of flight failures (aircraft incidents and accidents), and the prevention of such failures through regulation, education and training.
In 2011 the number of accidents globally involving aircraft dropped to 2.4 incidents for every million departures, down from 2.6 per million in 2010. Worldwide, there were 373 fatalities on 18 scheduled passenger flights in 2011 - with over 30 million commercial flights operated that year.
Midair collisions, on-board fires, a fatigued fuselage that turned a plane into a high-altitude convertible—out of these tragedies arose major technological advances in flight safety that keep air travel routine today.
