A Boeing 737-800 belonging to China Eastern Airlines adds to the list of fatal global aviation accidents.

The aircraft, flight number MU5735, carrying 123 passengers and 9 crew members, crashed on its way from Kunming to Guangzhou, China, on Monday (March 21).

Previously, Chinese airlines were known as some of the safest in the world.

The last major commercial plane crash in the People's Republic of China occurred in 2010. At that time, a Henan Airlines (Embraer SA) aircraft carrying 96 passengers crashed in Yichun, resulting in 44 fatalities.

According to data from the Aviation Safety Network (ASN), throughout 2021 there were a number of civil aviation accidents (flights with more than 14 passengers) with a total of 176 fatalities. This figure represents a 28.47% increase from the previous year's fatality rate of 137.

ASN also notes that the highest number of aviation accidents with fatalities occurred in 1972, with a total of 75 accidents and 2,389 fatalities. This is the highest fatality rate in history.

Meanwhile, in 2017 there were 14 plane crashes with a fatality rate of only 59. This fatality rate is the lowest in the last five decades.
