Fatal hull loss accidents worldwide, by airplane type 1959-2020
Over the past six decades, around 518 fatal hull loss accidents have been reported worldwide. The narrow-body airliner Boeing 727 was the commercial jet with the highest number of fatal hull losses from 1959 to 2020, recording 56 accidents around the world. During this period, only one airplane type has reported fatal hull losses with fewer than one million accumulated departures, the Boeing 737 MAX. The variant of the fourth generation of the Boeing 737, MAX 8, suffered two fatal hull losses in 2018 (Lion Air Flight 610) and 2019 (Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302).
