Flying in an airplane is approximately the most dangerous thing that normal people do on a routine basis.  (Traveling to the Moon or Planet Four is more dangerous, but most people don't do that once, let alone routinely.)  It's not so much that the machinery has a higher chance of breaking compared to your lawnmower, but that, if something does go wrong, your brain has a higher chance of being smashed, roasted, or sinking to the bottom of the sea.  In which case you really really die instead of getting frozen.

Worse than that, if something goes sufficiently wrong, the plane could crash into a non-customer.  It could crash into a skyscraper.

Aerospace is accordingly one of the very few activities on dath ilan that are genuinely stringently regulated in a way that's hard to personally opt out of.
