The report shows a reduction in the number of fatal accidents and the fatality risk, compared to 2021 and to the five year average (2018-2022).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From this year, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iata.org\/safety-report\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Safety Report<\/a> has been re-invented as an online interactive resource rather .In 2022, there were five fatal accidents involving loss of life to passengers and crew. This is reduced from seven in 2021 and an improvement on the five year average (2018-2022) which was also seven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fatal accident rate improved to 0.16 per million sectors for 2022, from 0.27 per million sectors in 2021, and also was ahead of the five year fatal accident rate of 0.20.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>IATA member airlines experienced one fatal accident in 2022, with 19 fatalities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAccidents are rare in aviation. There were five fatal accidents among 32.2 million flights in 2022. That tells us that flying is among the safest activities in which a person can engage. But even though the risk of flying is exceptionally low, it is not risk-free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Careful analysis of the trends that are emerging even at these very high levels of safety is what will make flying even safer. This year\u2019s report, for example, tells us that we need to make some special efforts on turboprop operations in Africa and Latin America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a0Safety is aviation\u2019s highest priority, and our goal is to have every flight take off and land safely regardless of region or aircraft type,\u201d said Willie Walsh, IATA\u2019s Director General.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Editor:msserwanga@gmail.com<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Our Aviation Reporter March 2023 (Geneva) &#8211; The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has released its 2022 Safety Report<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7456,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[180],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8414","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-aviation"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/prowebinhost.com\/anzu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/download-7.jpg","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":6627,"url":"https:\/\/prowebinhost.com\/anzu\/iata-secures-30-bn-to-support-air-transport-and-tourism-in-africa-kamil-alwadhi\/","url_meta":{"origin":8414,"position":0},"title":"IATA SECURES $30 BN TO SUPPORT AIR TRANSPORT AND TOURISM IN AFRICA BUT THE RELIEF DID NOT REACH THOSE IN NEED-KAMIL ALWADHI","author":"UgandaUpdate","date":"September 13, 2022","format":false,"excerpt":"International Air Transport Association ( ATA ) has helped to secure pledges for $30 billion to support air transport and tourism in Africa from some governments, international finance bodies and institutions such as the African Development Bank, the African Export-Import Bank, the African Union and the International Monetary Fund but\u2026","rel":"","context":"In &quot;Africa Continental News&quot;","block_context":{"text":"Africa Continental News","link":"https:\/\/prowebinhost.com\/anzu\/category\/africa-continental-news\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/prowebinhost.com\/anzu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/kamil.jpg","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/prowebinhost.com\/anzu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/kamil.jpg 1x, https:\/\/prowebinhost.com\/anzu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/kamil.jpg 1.5x, https:\/\/prowebinhost.com\/anzu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/kamil.jpg 2x, https:\/\/prowebinhost.com\/anzu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/kamil.jpg 3x"},"classes":[]},{"id":15452,"url":"https:\/\/prowebinhost.com\/anzu\/high-expectations-for-42nd-icao-assembly-in-montreal-canada\/","url_meta":{"origin":8414,"position":1},"title":"High Expectations for 42nd ICAO Assembly In Montreal Canada","author":"UgandaUpdate","date":"September 17, 2025","format":false,"excerpt":"By Our Aviation Correspondents The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has high expectations for the\u00a042ndAssembly of the International Civil Aviation Organization\u00a0(ICAO) (Montreal, 23 September-3 October 2025).
