For the world’s scheduled airlines, 2015 “was an extraordinarily safe year,” according to an analysis issued today by the International Air Transport Association, based in Montreal. However, the world was “shocked and horrified” by two deliberate acts that caused the loss of two airplanes and all 374 on board — Germanwings 9525 and Metrojet 9268. Besides those two flights, which were not counted as accidents, there were no passenger fatalities on jet transports. Turboprop flights had a less perfect record, with four accidents resulting in 136 deaths.
