When it comes to choosing a means of transportation for travel, safety is undoubtedly one of the main concerns of passengers. Fortunately, data shows that air travel is, in fact, the safest mode of transportation in the world.

Juan Luis Díez, CEO of Air Horizont, addressed this issue in a recent interview, highlighting the company's commitment to safety and excellence in the flying experience.

The International Air Transport Association (IATA) publishes an annual safety report that reveals startling statistics. According to the 2023 annual safety report, there were approximately 37 million aircraft movements worldwide, with only one accident for every 1.26 million flights. This means that the probability of suffering an accident is extremely low.

Air transport safety data

IATA Director General Walsh has repeatedly stressed that safety is the top priority for the aviation industry. The 2023 data shows a marked improvement in the air accident rate, with a 17% reduction over the previous year. This continued improvement in safety reflects the ongoing efforts of airlines and aviation authorities to implement and maintain the highest safety standards.

Impressive statistics

One of the most impressive facts is that, according to IATA, it would take 103,239 years of continuous flights for an average passenger to suffer a fatal accident. This figure puts the safety of air travel into perspective compared to other modes of transportation. In 2023, around 37 million commercial aircraft movements were made, and only a few accidents were recorded, reinforcing confidence in the safety of flying.

Comparison with other means of transportation

When comparing air transport accident rates with other modes of transportation, air travel clearly stands out as the safest. For example, ground vehicle accident rates are significantly higher. This is due to a combination of factors, such as road infrastructure, human behavior and weather conditions.

Air Horizont's commitment to safety

At Air Horizont, safety is not just a priority, it is an obsession. Juan Luis Diez, in his interview, emphasized that the company is committed to maintaining and exceeding the safety standards set by the industry. "Our goal is to offer not only a pleasant flight experience, but also the safest possible for our passengers," said Díez.

Security measures implemented

Air Horizont has implemented a series of measures to ensure safety on all its flights. This includes rigorous fleet maintenance, ongoing pilot and crew training, and the adoption of advanced navigation and communication technologies. Each of our aircraft undergoes thorough and regular maintenance to ensure that they are in optimal flying condition.

The greatest peace of mind for our passengers

For many passengers, especially those who suffer from aerophobia, understanding these facts can provide great peace of mind. Knowing that air travel is the safest form of transportation in the world can help reduce the anxiety associated with flying. At Air Horizont, we work hard to ensure that every flight is a safe and enjoyable experience.

The future of aviation safety

The commitment to aviation safety does not stop. The industry continues to innovate and improve its practices and technologies to further reduce accident rates.
