IATA Annual Safety Report

IATA's Annual Safety Report reveals continuous long-term improvement, although 2024 did take a step back from exceptional performance in 2023.

The all-accident rate of 1.13 per million flights (one accident per 880,000 flights) was better than the five-year average of 1.25 but worse than the 1.09 recorded in 2023.

A decade ago, there was one accident for every 456,000 flights (five-year average 2011-2015). Today, the average is one accident for every 810,000 flights (five-year average 2020-2024).

There were 244 on-board fatalities in 2024, compared to the 72 fatalities reported in 2023 and the five-year average of 144. Fatality risk remained low at 0.06, below the five-year average (0.10), although double the 0.03 reported in 2023.
