In the last couple of years there have been lesser flight deaths per capita. This most recent year ended with 325 deaths in total. That is about 1 death in every 10,769,230 travelers. 

“Since 1997 the average number of airliner accidents has shown a steady and persistent decline, for a great deal thanks to the continuing safety-driven efforts by international aviation organizations such as ICAO, IATA, Flight Safety Foundation and the aviation industry,” said ASN President Harro Ranter.
