Best Answer

Air travel is really the safest mode of transportation. Pilots are highly trained professionals and must log many hours before they are allowed to pilot a plane full of passengers. Autos are safe but it is the people who are driving them that make them dangerous. Air travel is highly regulated in how, where, when planes can fly. Air traffic controllers guide planes through air space so it is safe. There are relatively few accidents in the millions of miles that planes fly.
