Good news…
The Aviation Safety Network today released the 2011 airliner accident statistics showing a total of 507 airliner accident fatalities, as a result of 28 fatal multi-engine airliner accidents.
The year 2011 was a very safe year for civil aviation, Aviation Safety Network data show. The second safest year by number of fatalities and the third safest year by number of accidents. Also, 2011 marked the longest period without a fatal airliner accident in modern aviation history. This record period now stands at 80 days and counting (by January 1).
Obviously no accidents would be a good target to aim for, but the stats for 2011 show a promising trend. Lets hope it continues to improve.
All the best for 2012
