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?
