>> Safety is paramount at Ryanair - their reputation in industry is that they have the strictest standards of any airline operating in Europe, low-cost or not.

Source?

This shows otherwise.

That article is the same listicle from AirlineRatings shared by another poster below. AirlineRatings themselves are just a website, not any authority, but their own rating for Ryanair is equal the same "seven stars" they award to the top 10 in that list: https://www.airlineratings.com/ratings/ryanair/

So there is no other source to back up OPs claim that Rynanair the safest in Europe?

The source is their Wikipedia entry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ryanair#Accidents_and_incident...

Compare this to any other airline on the "safest" list. All EU airlines are extremely safe - it's a highly regulated market. None have the record or reputation of Ryanair, especially not at the scale they operate.

I cannot see any comparison there.

>> None have the record or reputation of Ryanair, especially not at the scale they operate.

Again, source?
