Aviation Safety, Made Transparent
Every year, millions of flights take to the skies. While commercial aviation remains one of the safest forms of transportation, transparency around incidents is critical for continued improvement. PlaneCrashData aggregates and visualizes incident data from official sources like the NTSB and EASA, giving researchers, journalists, and safety-conscious travelers a single source of truth.
