Despite a recent string of high-profile aviation accidents, data from the National Transportation Safety Board shows that overall aviation accidents were down from 2023 to 2024. In 2025, while there have been some incidents such as the crash of a small plane in Nebraska, there is nothing especially remarkable about the overall number of incidents. The crash in Nebraska, where a Cessna 180 crashed into a river killing all three occupants, is just one in a series of accidents that have raised concerns about air travel safety. Other recent accidents include a fatal crash of a tour helicopter in New York, a small plane crash in Florida, and the collision of two commercial jets at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. However, the majority of incidents involve smaller private aircraft rather than commercial planes. Despite these incidents, statistics show that flying is still safe, with the data suggesting that the chances of being involved in an aviation accident remain low. The National Transportation Safety Board and the Federal Aviation Administration are investigating the recent incidents to determine the causes of the crashes. While accidents do happen, the overall safety of air travel is supported by the data and travelers should take comfort in the fact that flying is still a safe mode of transportation.
