Airline accident death toll fell in 2013

Written By Unknown on Selasa, 01 April 2014 | 09.52

AIRLINE crashes killed 210 people last year, half as many as the five-year average, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) says.

The Geneva-based industry group said on Tuesday that of the 81 airline accidents in 2013, 16 resulted in fatalities.

The Asia Pacific area was among the regions where airline safety decreased last year, as the rate of 0.7 serious accidents per million flights was worse than the 2009-2013 average of 0.64, according to IATA.

Accidents involving Asian airlines last year included the Asiana Airlines crash in San Franscisco, which left three dead and 181 injured, as well as the Lao Airline crash into the Mekong river, which killed all 49 on board.

The former Soviet states were the worst-performing region last year, with 2.09 serious accidents per one million flights.

Safety improved significantly in Africa last year but the continent's airlines are only marginally safer than the ones in former Soviet countries, the statistics showed.
