In the midst of accidents in air travel, worries and hesitations about travelling on air have heightened. Fatal as air accidents may seem, they are not posing any severe effects on the safety of air travel, according to flight safety experts.

Egypt Air with flight number MS 804 with 66 passengers on board, was suspected to have crashed morning time on Thursday while it was flying over the Mediterranean Sea, as reported in Marketwatch.com. MS 804 was flying coming from Paris to Cairo.

It was yet to be confirmed whether or not the plane has crashed in the Mediterranean Sea. However, the debris rescuers have located in the Greek islands have shown the Egypt Air flight has likely had crashed. Experts have concluded terrorism is not being ruled out as the possible cause of the crash of the aircraft.

Even though air travel accidents may cause setbacks in the way travellers see flying, these accidents' negative influence for the long-term usually does not last, according to Ian Savage, Northwestern University economics professor. In fact, Savage has announced that air travel has been safer in the last 10 years.

He said, "Survivability of airplane crashes has become considerably better."

Savage shared that bus and air travels have been considered as among the most secure ways to travel in the United States. Plane accidents have minimized 25 percent within 2010 and 2015, decreasing to 122 crashes from 162 plane crash incidents all over the world, according to the Bureau of Aircraft Accidents Archive based in Geneva, Switzerland, according to Marketwatch.com as well.

In 2016, most travel accidents have mostly occurred in helicopters or private planes, aviation-wise, as written in the data in a report released in the National Transportation Safety Board. As observed by the International Air Transport Association, 2014's air accidents include one air travel accident out of 4.4. million flights, as reported in Independent Traveler.
