The number of fatalities on board the aircraft due to the accident.
2The number of ground fatalities due to the accident.
3
Confounding effects are reported in this column
4
The accident in question was a training aircraft of Singapore Airlines with an instructor and student that
crashed. Since this accident was not the result of the commercial operation of an aircraft and that the news of this
accident did not reach the market this accident is excluded from the sample.
5
Korean Air had an accident 8 months earlier that intervenes with the estimation window of this accident, it is
therefore excluded from the sample.
