Commercial aircraft are immensely safe and very robust.

“…Is it accurate to assert that flying is safer than driving? Statistically speaking, flying is considerably safer than driving. Let’s break down the data:
Statistics: According to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), there was only one accident resulting in one or more fatalities for every 7.7 million flights in 2021.
This translates to a fatality risk of 0.23 per billion passenger-kilometers. In contrast, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that the likelihood of dying in a car crash in the US is approximately 1 in 107.
Comparison: This implies that, on average, you would need to fly every day for over 10,000 years to be involved in a fatal plane crash. The risk of dying in a car crash is roughly 200,000 times higher than dying in a plane crash…”
