All major 2019 safety performance indicators improved compared to 2018 and to the average of the 2014-2018 period as shown below:

 201920185-year average
(2014-2018)
All accident rate (accidents per one million flights) 1.13 or 1 accident every 884,000 flights1.36 or 1 accident every 733,000 flights1.56 or 1 accident every 640,000 flights
Total accidents536263.2

(4 jet and 4 turboprop) with 240 fatalities¡
11 fatal accidents with 523 fatalities8.2 fatal accidents/year with an average of 303.4 fatalities each year
Fatality risk0.090.170.17
Jet hull losses (per one million flights) 0.15 which is equal to 1 major accident for every 6.6 million flights0.18 (one major accident for every 5.5 million flights)0.24 (one major accident for every 4.1 million flights)
Turboprop hull losses (per one million flights) 0.69 (1 hull loss for every 1.45 million flights)0.70 (1 hull loss for every 1.42 million flights)1.40 (1 hull loss for every 714,000 flights)

“The safety and wellbeing of our passengers and crew is aviation’s highest priority. The release of the 2019 Safety Report is a reminder that even as aviation faces its deepest crisis, we are committed to making aviation even safer. Based on the 2019 fatality risk, on average, a passenger could take a flight every day for 535 years before experiencing an accident with one fatality on board. But we know that one accident is one too many. Every fatality is a tragedy and it is vital that we learn the correct lessons to make aviation even safer,” said Alexandre de Juniac, IATA’s Director General and CEO. 


Jet hull loss rates by region of operator (per million departures) 


Five regions showed improvement in 2019 compared to the previous five years (2014-2018) in terms of the jet hull loss rate.

Region20192014 - 2018
Global0.150.24
Africa1.391.01
Asia Pacific0.000.30
Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS)2.211.08
Europe0.000.13
Latin America and the Caribbean0.000.57
Middle East and North Africa0.000.44
North America0.090.16
North Asia0.150.00

Turboprop hull loss rates by region of operator (per million departures)


All regions except for Latin America and the Caribbean showed improvement when compared to their respective five-year rates. Accidents involving turboprop aircraft represented 41.5% of all accidents in 2019 and 50% of fatal accidents.

Region20192014 - 2018
Global0.691.40
Africa1.295.20
Asia Pacific0.550.87
Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS)15.7916.85

Middle East and North Africa0.003.51
North America0.000.67
North Asia0.005.99

IOSA


In 2019, the all accident rate for airlines on the IOSA registry was nearly two times better than that of non-IOSA airlines (0.92 vs. 1.63) and it was more than two-and-a-half times better over the 2014-18 period (1.03 vs. 2.71). All IATA member airlines are required to maintain their IOSA registration. There are currently 439 airlines on the IOSA Registry of which 139 are non-IATA Members.


Fatality Risk


Fatality risk measures the exposure of a passenger or crew to a catastrophic accident with no survivors. The calculation of fatality risk does not consider aircraft size or how many were on board. What is measured is the percentage of fatalities among those on-board. This is expressed as fatality risk per millions of flights. The 2019 fatality risk of 0.09 means that on average, a person would have to travel by air every day for 535 years before experiencing an accident with at least one fatality. On average, a person would have to travel every day for 29,586 years to experience a 100% fatal accident.
