The key safety metrics for the global airline industry in 2021 were mixed compared with 2020, according to the International Air Transport Association’s annual safety report, released Wednesday. 

Last year, the aviation industry—including passenger and cargo flights—had 26 total accidents, down from 35 in 2021, and below the 2017-2021 average of 44.2. Seven of the accidents were fatal—one on a jet and six on turboprop aircraft—up from five in 2020. The total number of fatalities, however, was 121 in 2021, below both the 132 reported in 2020 and the five-year average of 207. The fatality risk rose from .13 to .23, owing to the rise in fatal turboprop accidents. Still, the current risk metric means that on average, a person would need to take a flight every day for 10,078 years to be involved in an accident with at least one fatality, according to IATA.

The all-accident rate (accidents per one million flights) improved from 1.58 in 2020 to 1.01 in 2021. Last year also was the first time in 15 years that there were no runway or taxiway excursion accidents, according to IATA.
