The Kryder Law Group, LLC Report Reveals Commercial Air Travel Is Safer Than You Think

CHICAGO - Rezul -- A new report from The Kryder Law Group, LLC Accident & Injury Lawyers, analyzing a decade of U.S. civil aviation data, reveals that commercial air travel is exceptionally safe. The analysis of National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) statistics from 2015 to 2024 shows that general aviation, which includes private and recreational flights, is responsible for the overwhelming majority of accidents and fatalities.

The report breaks down over 11,800 accidents and 3,400 fatalities across different aviation categories. The findings highlight a significant disparity in safety records between commercial airlines and private aircraft.

• General Aviation (Part 91) accounted for 11,082 accidents and 3,212 fatalities, representing 93.45% of total accidents and 93.18% of all fatalities over the ten-year period.
• Commercial Airlines (Part 121) were involved in only 332 accidents and recorded just 3 fatalities in the same timeframe. This category makes up only 2.8% of accidents and less than 0.1% of fatalities.
• Commuter/Charter Flights (Part 135) fell in the middle, with 445 accidents and 232 fatalities.

"While any accident is a tragedy, this data provides critical context for air travelers," said Andrew Kryder, Esq., founding partner of The Kryder Law Group, LLC. "The safety record of commercial airlines is remarkable and stands in stark contrast to the risks associated with general aviation. Our goal in presenting this analysis is to help the public understand the real statistics behind aviation safety and to support those affected by any type of aviation incident at smaller regional airports."
