Have you travelled any of the busiest flight routes?

As more of us jet away on holiday with summer approaching, let’s dive in to the aerospace industry. We take a look at the largest aircraft manufacturing companies, which phases of flight are most prone to crashes, and the busiest flight routes.

Aviation Crashes by phase of flight

Landing and takeoff are clearly the most dangerous phases of the entire flight which is unsurprising due to a combination of factors. These phases occur at relatively low altitudes which gives the pilot less scope and time to recover from errors or malfunctions. Also, at these times the pilot requires intense concentration and coordination due to having to complete multiple tasks. Therefore, this leaves more room for human error too.
