Be very careful with stats especially when comparing apples with oranges.
How many total flight hours were they flown?
What type of flights (any military to theater of operations).
Have you corrected for tech advances - it would be better picking a contemporary of A330.
That said I do believe airbus are in general very safe, sadly the same cannot be said of humans.
