Again, you're comparing actual flying to actual driving, not actual driving versus a "bomb a day" flying scenario. If we assume 1.3 people in the average car, you're at 1.17 deaths per 130m "passenger-miles" driven, or 1.52 deaths per 100m passenger-miles.

With 87k flights per day, and assuming 750 miles per average flight, you'd be at about 65 million plane miles per day. Assuming 100 people on the average flight, that's 650m passenger-miles flown. If we're in a world with one plane bombing per day, then, again assuming 100 pax per plane on average, you're looking at 100 fatalities per 650m passenger miles flown, or about 15 fatalities per 100m passenger-miles, that's 10x the rate for cars.
