Australian Passenger Jets Remain Fatality-Free

Australia's high-capacity regular passenger transport sector has recorded no hull losses or fatal accidents involving passenger jets, a record the Australian Transport Safety Bureau described as the world's best. However, this distinction does not cover every foreign flight traveling to or from Australia. In 1974, Pan Am Flight 812, a Boeing 707 scheduled to stop in Sydney, crashed near Denpasar, Bali, killing all 107 people aboard.
