I took it as him saying it's "unsafe" and makes life scary to lack hope and love. People are typically afraid of airplanes, death, etc. However, as scary as those things may be, it is worse to live in a world without hope and love. Maybe he says he thinks he is safer on an airplane to show just how bad it is. Like, if being on an airplane feels safe... then something else must be much scarier. Kind of seems like he is talking about how the world is now.
