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.
Even the worst most unsafe aircraft are pretty reliable
