Aviation safety still on course

The Turkish Airlines crash is thankfully a rare occurrence in Europe. The European Aviation and Safety Agency report three in 2007, and six in 2006, with a decade average of six fatal air accidents per year, against a trend of increasing traffic. Only five per cent of worldwide fatal air accidents involved European carriers last year. "Take a million flights and the likelihood of being involved in a fatal accident anywhere in the world is still just 0.79 per cent." Source: Times. http://tinyurl.com/d67tp6
