Ryanair had incidents from dangerously little fuel on board for the conditons at the destination to risk of controlled flight into ground. Directly caused by aggressive cost saving. Blaming pilots for carrying extra fuel or being late. In such an incident it is often luck what the outcome is. So far they have been lucky, but their history as a mass carrier is much shorter than that of other airlines.
I seriously doubt that they have systematically better safety than many other European companies.
- dx034 4y agoFuel was too low for regulation, but from all I read there was never a realistic risk of an accident due to low fuel. The consequence rather was that these flights then had to be prioritized at the destination airport, affecting schedules and other airlines.
