If you include all the feeder aircraft routes (lots of single-engine Grand Caravans and the like), it’s much, much worse than US airline passenger flights. Reasons include a mix of equipment, flying on the wrong side of the clock (often by low-time pilots with other jobs), lots of single pilot ops, driving for the lowest possible cost and highest dispatch rate, less oversight (and a little bit more cowboy as a result), and lots of short legs to airports with shorter runways, fewer runways, and often less services (snow removal, ATC, de-icing, etc.)
