In an article titled Deadly times for flying, News.com.au has listed details of air crashes over the past few months.
The crash of an Iranian Tupolev airliner in northern Iran with 168 people on board comes just two weeks after a Yemenia Airbus A310 crashed in the Indian Ocean off the Comoros with 153 passengers and crew on board, with only one survivor.
That incident occurred just 29 days after the crash of an Air France A330, killing 228. The three crashes make June and July one of the deadliest periods for air travel.
I have to admit that I love flying and while the recent air crashes have saddened and concerned me, I’d still jump on a plane tomorrow if I had the chance.
Has the news of recent air crashes discouraged you from flying? If you had to get from point A to point B would you look for alternate transport? Do you think that flying is still safe?

With the expansion (digitally and physically) of the world it’s almost impossible not to fly it seems.
Plus, i think travel is one of the best gifts one can give themselves. To expose ones self to new cultures, people, food and experiences is truly often life changing. I think that although scary, it’s worth it to fly!
If you let yourself live in fear chances are that’s right where you’ll stay-fearful, ya know?
