IATA 2025 Safety Report Reveals Record-Low Accident Rates Despite Rise in Total Annual Fatalities
AviationNews – The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has released its 2025 Annual Safety Report, confirming that the year achieved one of the lowest accident rates in aviation history. While the frequency of mishaps reached a historic low, the industry recorded a total of 394 fatalities over the twelve-month period. This increase in the loss of life is attributed to a small number of specific, high-impact incidents rather than a systemic decline in safety standards.
