On Monday , a Delta Air Lines plane crashed and flipped upon landing in Toronto , leaving two passengers seriously injured.

Psychologist Steve Joordens said people may reconsider air travel in the short term.

Joorden said recent high-profile plane crashes have been in the news in recent weeks .

A study published last year found the death risk per boarding for air travellers was one in 13.7 million between 2018 and 2022 .
