The aerospace industry has continued to become safer throughout the years, and 2023 was a year in which no large turbofan-powered aircraft were involved in any major fatal accidents. As a result, 2023 will go down in history as the safest in the history of commercial aviation.

There have been a few smaller incidents, including two fatal incidents involving non-jet-powered airliners. Furthermore, there were several fatal crashes involving jet-powered private aircraft, as well as many that saw those involved in general aviation lose their lives.
