This is a quick & dirty statistic that I just made.

Incidents listed on Wikipedia excl. hijacking/being shot down where >=20 people perish:

  year airbus boeing
  2000 2 3
  2001 1 0
  2002 0 4
  2003 0 3
  2004 0 1
  2005 0 6
  2006 2 2
  2007 1 3
  2008 1 2
  2009 2 0
  2010 2 2
  2011 0 2
  2012 0 1
  2013 0 1
  2014 1 1
  2015 1 0
  2016 1 1
  2017 0 1
  2018 0 2
  2019 0 1
  2020* 1 2
I couldn't find any data on the number of journeys per year. The statistic is useless as an indicator of safety as it isn't normalized to either a unit of distance or journey.

* To date.
