Since 9/11 plane crash incidents have reduced by nearly half. It's literally twice as safe for the last 2 decades.

Narrow it to commercial airlines the incidents are even fewer in number. Narrow it more to actual deaths resulted from crashes it's really not worth staying over.

If that doesn't help, compare prices between plane tickets and any other form of travel. Worked with my wife.

Maybe there is an alternative form of transportation she is willing to try? Like a cruise that will take you to a destination and then a cruise back home from there. Or just driving if the destination is reachable by land. It will mean more time in transportation and longer overall vacations but it would mean she wouldn't need to get on a plane.

There's always the option of her learning how to fly a plane herself so that she knows what is involved. It's more complicated than driving a car but it's a similar principle of manipulating a vehicle and not so difficult that any average human being couldn't do it. If her problem is with plane/flight mechanics she can always learn more about how they work.
She has a greater chance of being involved in a car accident than an airplane accident...

I don't know what to tell you. I got on a plane in October 2001. I think they're generally safe. There's no magic key to getting rid of a fear like that.

She’s just gotta fly
Take her on rollercoasters, that helps a lot actually
