U. S. Residents lifetime odds of dying in:
  • Motor Vehicle Accident 1-in-100
  • Air Travel Accident 1-in-20,000

Source.

These figures are from 2001, and I assume apply only to U.S. air travel. One could probably find more recent data that include international travel, but I doubt it would change the numbers much, assuming international air travel was on major developed-world airlines.
