Reason:

Title?
Air transport is 'still not safer now?
Hm,
Comments #6 "not safer than any other common transports road, sea, track."

Pro
Pros claims are highly suspect without sources,
And many of their claims run counter to what seems to me common sense.
Climate for example, can play a large role in car crashes and being stranded, ice, snow.

Con
What's the 1 in Xillion chance of dying in a car crash?
I get that more people have died in cars and trains, but I'd figure more people use cars and trains?

RFV
Con didn't directly counter Pro's arguments, though arguably they were largely addressed by Cons argument that statistically less people have died from flying in recent years.
Con did have 'a source.
Both sides seem to have forfeited a bit.
Legibility hurt Pro a bit I think, though they clarified the title in the comments.
I also think their grammar could improve a bit, though I can only speak 'one language myself, and even in English, my grammar isn't great.

Opinion
I think Con is right, and that planes are currently generally safer.
Perhaps because of how regulated and monitored they are by companies, rather than individuals.

I would change sentences such as
"In this world neither transport is not 100% safe like cars , trains. But I want to say Air transport is not safer for many reasons."
to
In this world neither cars nor trains are 100%. But I want to say Air transport has many reasons it is less safe.

And again, I've poor grammar, but I think Pro's grammar still harms their arguments some.
