very true, with commercial jets.
slightly less safe than driving in general aviation.
but still very safe statistically.
single engine aircraft have more accidents per passenger mile but are safer for occupants if they crash than multi-engine aircraft due to lower stall speed (landing speed).
unless a camel jockey is at the controls you can put money on getting to your destination---dune coon in the cockpit and all bets are off.
