neither do most airlines. what makes a company like ryanair (which has been around for what, a decade or so?) safer than an airline that has been around for 50+ years?

I would say Air Malta is one of the safest airlines,to my knowledge they have never crashed.
On All Nippon Airways ,one crew member was killed by a deranged passenger.

Ok, lets strike Air Malta off the list..

25 FEB 2004 Airbus ground collision was due to inadequate facilities
A magisterial inquiry into the ground collision of an Air Malta Airbus with an electricity pylon on January 19 has exonerated the pilots from any criminal responsibility and concluded that the accident was due to the inadequate facilities on Apron 2, where the accident took place, coupled with a number of shortcomings. (The Times of Malta)

AirMalta is not even an airline all they do is smuggling in&out of Malta that half italian-half african population
then the number of crashes should be compared to the number of flights the company operates
Air Burkino Faso has never crashed in fact they fly once a year with just some diplomats on board

Yeah , and lets not forget the illegal immigrants who leave Malta for Italy.
