Air travel is the safest, most efficient mode of transportation in the United States.
The FAA, along with the airlines and aircraft manufacturers, is responsible for aviation safety. But the traveler has an important role in making your journey as safe and comfortable as possible. The FAA oversees safety issues such as carry on baggage, airport security, child safety seats and real-time flight delay information. This site includes direct, one-click links to the DOT and the airlines, as well as a host of other useful sites such as airports, the Department of State, safety and enforcement statistics, the Centers for Disease Control and U.S. Customs Service. I hope this web site answers all of your questions about travelling by air.
