  1. Amigo: Do you have the statistics of deaths in aviation accidents during the years 2021 2022 and- 2023, in the world, compared to the number of deaths from traffic accidents , in the world, during the same years?
    Thank you very much.

  2. actually quite interesting, I have never been afraid of flying, my first time flying in an Aerogal A319 I was the happiest child in the world, when others cried behind the plane, There was a time when I was interested in documentaries of mayday air disasters and there it scared me a little because it was small but not much more, today it seems to me the most beautiful thing there is and I get on a plane with enthusiasm. Good post
