Amazingly safe first 6 months of 2017
The Flight analysis of the first 6 months of 2017 shows that for commercial transport flights worldwide there were only 6 fatal accidents which killed 16 crew & p[assengers - and only 4 of these were passengers. Of course a number of residents were also killed at Bishkek
No doubt a blip - but still astonishing!!!

Interesting fact. Especially given that most on here - especially those in the industry, think that standards overall have dropped to such a level that more accidents are an inevitability. I am especially talking about the quality of crews, training, oversight of authorities etc.
Doesn't really equate does it?

several really close calls
LGW Vulture the system or rather its protections are developing faster than we erode the standards. Maybe.

That's where we are - a single crash in any 6 months blips the figures so they are starting to become (relatively) useless at forecasting trends
I find this really remarkeable when you realsie there are over 100,000 flights A DAY
we have come a very very long way
