A lot less if you’re only counting advanced democracies. The last multi-casualty commercial plane crash in the US was in 2009, 15 years ago. I only make that multi-casualty caveat because otherwise you get weird one offs like a guy running into a landing strip and getting run over.
Even the one in 2009 was a fairly small propeller plane.

Let’s be honest. The airline disaster in recent history was when a door fell off and literally no one died.
There was one guy whose iPhone fell out of the plane and he literally got it back intact. He got an iPhone back intact.
Even the worst most unsafe aircraft are pretty reliable
Fixed wing aircraft, helicopters are abominable and deserve more fear and respect.
