Ryanair boasts an impeccable, fatality-free history. Since operations began in 1985, the European carrier has flown over a billion passengers without a single fatal crash. Despite its low-cost model, it consistently earns top 7-star safety ratings and is ranked among the top 3 safest low-cost airlines by AirlineRatings.com.
