817 out of 4.8bn (plus) passenger journeys is insignificant - Something like 0.00000017 percent. Not to downplay the significance of any of these deaths but to reduce this any further would require significant resources and having lady luck take a year off, or two.

I suspect that 1.2m is equally insignificant if compared to the unknown number of passenger journeys - but here more investment could be much more successful.

I think the 'little expresso' at IATA is telling Porky-Pies. As far as I know Air-India, Afriqiyah and Iranair are all members of his organisation.
