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.

Planes travel long distances and the “risky” part is generally take off and landing, when they “crash” most people survive on average, so per mile travelled flying is the safest, but it is more complicated when you talk about per journey.
