The analysis of accidents in civil aviation and railway transport between 1995 and 2023 shows different trends and patterns. In civil aviation, accidents are relatively rare, but notable years include 2016 and 2022. The most common causes of accidents are categorized as "other reasons" (89%), while technical safety deficiencies, such as engine failures or landing issues, represent a smaller share. Fatalities in aviation are decreasing, although major accidents still occur. In railway transport, there is a significant decline in accidents and casualties, mainly due to improved safety measures and infrastructure. Only a few countries stand out for noticeably lower investments in safety. The correlation between population, number of passengers, and accidents is low in aviation, whereas in railway transport there is an increasing trend of accident reduction.
