Is it safe to travel by air?
Worldwide there are far more incidents of aircraft malfunction during past three months than over 3 decades in living memory. As compared to other modes of transportation, air travel is generally the safest. There is hardly any doubt, about this. However, its possible due to overcrowding of skies with flying aircraft, global warming leading to higher temperatures, erratic weather patterns, aircraft overhauling issues, there are more such incidents. Authorities world over are using stringent conditions to make flying safer & more comfortable. Looking at the law of averages over past few decades, air travel is still a good mode of travel. Unless, off course if suffering from anxiety, panic attacks, air sickness!
