Sorry, but the stats to point to your husband winning:
Your chances of being involved in an aircraft accident are about 1 in 11 million. On the other hand, your chances of being killed in an automobile accident are 1 in 5000. Statistically, you are at far greater risk driving to the airport than getting on an airplane. However, the perception is that you have more control over your fate when you are in your car than as a passenger. Experience shows otherwise considering that over 50,000 people are killed on the highways every year

Traveling in airplanes is much much much safer. It's a known fact. You husband is right.
Your odds of dying in a car accident over the course of your lifetime are 1 in 84.
Your odds of dying in an airplane accident over the course of your life are 1 in 5,051

Statistics show you are more likely to sustain injury or death while travelling in an automobile than in an airplane.
