The global jet accident rate in 2014 reached an all-time low, although the number of passenger fatalities for the year was above average, the International Air Transport Association reported on Monday.

In 2014, the global commercial aviation industry had an accident rate, defined as an accident in which the aircraft was damaged beyond repair, of about one per 4.4 million flights, compared with one per 2.4 million flights the year prior. However, fatalities in 2014 totaled 641, compared with 210 in 2013 and a five-year average of 517, according to IATA. The fatality count for 2014 includes the 239 passengers and crewmembers aboard the still-missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, which disappeared while en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, but not those aboard Malaysia Airlines Flight 17, which was shot down over the Ukraine in July; the latter event was not classified as an accident.
