Aviation Safety Analysis: Accidents, Fatalities, Nature and Causes (2019 - 2024)

This report presents an in-depth analysis of aviation accidents and fatalities over the past year (2019 - 2024), based on data driven from the Aviation Safety Network’s global accident database. It provides a comprehensive breakdown of incidents by flight nature, phase of flight, accident location, and primary causes. The objective is to identify key trends and contributing factors, offering valuable insights into aviation safety and risk mitigation. The analysis is structured around five key breakdowns: Aircraft Type – Categorizing accidents by aircraft model (Jet, Piston, Turboprop). Fatal vs. Non-Fatal – Differentiating incidents based on severity and casualty levels. Land vs. Water Accidents – Identifying accident locations and environmental factors. Airliner vs. Corporate Jet – Comparing accident data across commercial and private aviation sectors. Incident Breakdown: Events & Fatalities – Total number of accidents ( 907 ) and associated fatalities ( 1304 ). Ground Fatali...
