You're more likely to die from natural causes on a plane than from the plane crashing.
Some quick googling:
"287 fatalities on commercial aircraft in 2019." [1]
"Deaths on board are far rarer: one for every 7.74 million passengers." [2]
4543 million passengers globally in 2019. [3]
4543 / 7.74 = 516.
516 > 287. And 2019 had relatively high deaths from crashes (down from 561 in 2018, but higher than the 59 in 2017.)
(Of course, natural cause deaths depend upon your demographic. Planes don't care who is on them when they crash.)
