List of accidents and incidents on commercial aircraft

Year 1900-1949 1950-1974 1975-1999 2000-2025

Accidents and incidents on commercial aircraft grouped by the year that the incident or accident occurred. This list is also available grouped: by airline, by location, alphabetically, by death toll.

See also: Accidents and incidents in aviation.

This list is not complete. For more exhaustive lists, see the Aircraft Crash Record Office or the Air Safety Network. Airlines seem to be remembered by their worst accidents, and in that sense this list presents a good overview, but it is far from being complete.
