Africa was once again the most dangerous continent for aviation in 2013 but the worst accident was this Tatarstan Airlines Boeing 737 crash at Kazan, Russia, which killed all 50 people onboard.

That compares with a far higher 10-year average of 719 fatalities and 32 accidents annually (involving planes with a minimum passenger capacity of 14).
“The average number of airliner accidents has shown a steady and persistent decline,” said the ASN president, Harro Ranter, “probably for a great deal thanks to the continuing safety-driven efforts by international aviation organizations.”
