It's not extremely pro aeroplane, because if a plane crashes there are 100x more fatalities than in a car crash. Even so, there are more than 100x more fatalities in cars.
It makes sense that flying is safer because it's so strictly regulated. People are able to drive tired/sick/hungover but pilots aren't. Your car can have a fault that you haven't noticed where planes can't.* There's a crew operating the plane as opposed to a single driver.

*The exception proves the rule on this one
