LONDON – A study carried out by the UK’s Greenwich University for the country’s Civil Aviation Authority has found the safest places to sit on a plane is an aisle seat close to the emergency exit row or in the exit row itself.
Overall, the seats with the best survival rate were in the exit row and the rows in front or behind, while those seated between two and five rows from the exit row had a better than even chance of escaping in a fire although ”the difference between surviving and perishing was greatly reduced”.
This means anyone sitting six or more rows from an exit has a lower than evens chance of surviving.

The study looked at 105 accidents and considered the accounts of 2000 survivors.
