A bit of context is that the FAA doesn't want plane crashes at all (unless you're NASA), even "safe ones" because of the public image, so it's extremely difficult to get a waiver for a stunt if there is a real risk of crashing an airplane, even if it's empty and as safe as possible, it's not about safety, it's about public image. People afraid of flying are a very difficult crowd to manage.

Surely they crash real planes in movies from time-to-time no?

Or is it really always all CGI?

tenet featured a real plane blowing up (a B747), and that's a 2020 movie.

So I guess they can crash planes.

And I hope the public makes the difference between a Christopher Nolan movie and what can happen to them on their way to Hawaii.
