The recent airline disasters have encapsulated the global travel industry with a growing concern of air travel safety. However, according to the travel industry experts, air travelling is getting more and more secured.

It is observed that the number of travellers flying to various places for holidays or business is growing in an exponential rate. More travellers are flying than ever, making airline safety a daunting task. As the airspace is getting crowded, the technologies and services looking after airline safety are also tightening.

Each day almost 8.3 million people travel on an airplane. The number is roughly close to the population of New York City. Imagine, how many of them report a bad experience? Barring a few incidents which cannot be controlled by man, airlines and airline associations are keeping a keen watch on the growing concern of airline safety and addressing to it diligently.

There are definitely loop holes in the airline safety depending on the regions. For example, the African region faces five times more air crashes than the world. Such trouble areas also happen to be where air travel is growing in a faster rate.

However, according to experts air travelling is still a safer bet and the skies are not going to become more dangerous. Industry experts acknowledge the growing difficulties but also add that the aviation science has gone miles to cut down air crashes and unscrupulous air mishaps.

As of now, the airline industry is implementing fresh drills to meet the influx of passengers. Airlines will need to hire and train enough qualified pilots and mechanics, governments will have to develop and enforce safety regulations, and new runways with proper navigation aids will have to be built.
