Plane crash deaths rise in 2020 despite Covid pandemic

 

More people died in commercial plane crashes in 2020, an industry group has said, despite the number of flights plummeting due to the pandemic.

 

Dutch aviation consultancy To70 found that 299 people were killed in commercial crashes worldwide last year, rising from 257 in 2019.

 

This is despite a sharp drop in flights due to Covid-19 restrictions.

 

Tracking site Flightradar 24 reported that commercial flights had dropped by 42% last year.

Airport 'could take years to recover'

According to a statement released by To70, the figures include all deaths from large passenger aircraft accidents - including acts of unlawful interference, like the shooting down of aircraft.

 

Their figures for 2020 include the shooting down of a Ukraine International Airlines flight by Iranian armed forces last January. Iran plans to give $150,000 (£110,000) to the families of each of the 176 people killed - more than half of all those killed in plane crashes last year.

 

It also includes the deaths of 98 people in May when a Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) flight crashed in the city of Karachi. An initial report blamed "human error" for the accident.

 

To70 found that the number of accidents fell to 40 from a total of 86 the previous year. Only five of those 40 accidents proved fatal.
