Answer 1

It is safe to fly an airplane if you have a pilot's license.

It is safer to ride in an airplane than it is to drive to your destination.

Answer 2

Yes! It is always safe to fly in an airplane. Air travel  is the safest way to travel nowadays. =]

Answer 3

Yes, very safe, the risks of crashing while traveling on an airplane are way overrated. Those risks are actually very low.

Read the statistics: you have a chance of 1 in 11 million to crash.

Answer 8

a lot of people are afraid of going on planes and that's perfectly normal

you see thousands of people and more go on planes all the time and they're okay

of course there's a small chance that something bad might happen but what's the chance of that?

but when you say fly an airplane u mean riding on an airplane rite?

Answer 9

Depends: International flights are so nice if you choose the right one. In your case, it will be safe ( don't worry about that plane crash in Madrid ) because your flight can't possibly get booked. LOL
