So, first I hope this question fits this sub. I’ve often heard that sentance. But how has it been determined?
Like, is it just about the raw number of deaths? In which case, the argument doesn’t exactly land well since we’re in planes a very small part of our lives.
Or has it been calculated that on average, a second spent on a plane is safer than a second spent in a car? In which case it would truly be safer.

Per passenger mile they are a lot safer. So if you have to decide between driving somewhere or flying there, you should fly.
The problem is that you often end up travelling a lot more miles once you have the ability to fly. You wouldn’t be taking all those trips if you had to drive.
