IATA: mai meno incidenti aerei di così

SECONDO QUANTO DICHIARA la IATA, non c'è mai stato un anno migliore del 2010 nella storia degli incidenti aerei.

Money Quote: The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has said the global accident rate of Western-built jet aircraft was 0.61 in 2010, which is the lowest in aviation history.

IATA said the rate is equal to one accident for every 1.6 million flights and is a significant improvement of the 0.71 rate recorded in 2009.

In 2010, 2.4 billion passengers flew safely on 36.8 million flights. There were 17 hull loss accidents involving western-built jet aircraft, compared with 19 in 2009.

Last year, there were 94 accidents among all aircraft types, compared with 90 in 2009, 23 fatal accidents compared with 18 in 2009 and 786 fatalities compared with 685 in 2009.
