As safe as they reasonably could be. In order to maintain air-worthiness, the FAA requires airplane owners to adhere to a very strict set of maintenance and repair regulations. In addition airplanes are designed to be able to withstand severe abuse way in excess of what they actually see on a typical flight.
Whereas cars and trucks are designed to be used and then discarded, aircraft are designed with ease of maintenance and reliability in mind. It is common to see a 20 or 30 year old car still running on the original engine, but an aircraft of that age would have had its engine overhauled or replaced several times simply as a regular part of its maintenance schedule.
