Fear of flying is perhaps one of the most common fears of all mankind. Perhaps this is because we were not born with wings, or perhaps it is more a fear of heights or falling than of the actual flying itself. One thing is for certain there are many people who are extremely afraid of hitting the skies and that is a reason to take a look at the facts.
Commercial aviation is perhaps one of the safest forms of transportation whether you are flying in a commercial airliner or in a private charter jet, each of these is required to meet high industry standards, and undergo regular monitoring and scrutiny. There is very little room left for error in this industry. By taking a look at the facts you may find that this eases some of your anxiety about flying and helps to make you more comfortable while in the air.
And although most people drive without giving thought to it, it is actually a much less safe mode of transportation than flying is. Did you know that in the average year about 47,000 people die in car accidents, while in most years only 30-100 people die in airline fatalities per year? Now in order for the airlines to have the same death rate as those in auto accidents, they would need to crash one loaded 727 jet every day to meet the kind of death toll you find from auto accidents daily.
Perhaps you are thinking that travel by train is the way to go. Well, this is a pretty safe mode of travel as your chances of dying on a train trip are about one in a million, but you may be surprised to learn that your chances of survival on an airplane are actually ten times greater than that.
So the next time you think about traveling remember that air travel is by far one of the safest means of getting to your destination. Fly commercial or charter a jet, no matter which way you choose to go, you will have the most successful outcome with this form of travel.
