Near misses and close calls in the air


With more planes flying than ever before, the number of incidents has risen. Should anxious passengers be worried?

Not to fright anybody, but the number of near collisions between profitable aircraft is going up.

In the past year, according to the Federal Aviation Administration, the rate of what it considers grave airspace incursions in the United States rose from 2.44 per million flights to 3.28 per million flights. That works out to fewer than 10 incidents per year, but still the trend is a perturbing one, especially as the number of smaller infractions has risen more sharply.
