I wonder what the criteria is, BA is marked for a fatal accident... in 1985 (and I could be pedantic and point out that was a subsidiary, British Airtours). JAL also in 1985, El Al in 1977. ANA? 1971. I'm not sure if those are going to be as relevant to judging the modern safety practices of the airlines. Also, what's the your criteria for "advanced"? Ryanair and Easyjet have no fatal accidents on that site, are you just counting long haul "proper" airlines with wide bodies and not short haul budget operators?
