What is Safer to Fly or Drive?

A lot more people are getting a phobea of flying and I believe this is due down to the amount of air disasters that are occuring. People have always stated that air travel is the safest way to travel, but is that still the case.

The increase in low cost air travel has seen a major reduction in repairs and servicing of aircrafts. This has caused a huge amount of more delays. A personal story of mine was that I went to go on a relaxing holiday, and when leaving England the jet was initially delayed for two hours because they could not get the jet open to offload the passengers. Because they were running late as soon as they offloaded the passengers, they put us on the aeroplane as fast as possible so that hey could get back and pick up more passengers.

But what occurred was that in mid air the motors stopped working and caused us to make and emergency landing, which was a very terrible experience. So is air travel really as safe as driving new cars? In my opinion it is just not, simply because if you are involved in a car crash then you are less likely to be killed. But being involved in an air accident you are 99% likely not to survive.

As mentioned above I believe the main cause of this is because of economy flights, the flights are so cheap that the airlines simply want to fly them as much as they can during the day so they can make more money. So instead of actually resting the planes and getting them repaired, they are instead non stop flying them around to earn more money.
