Given FRA's shorthaul high density sectors I think it likely that they have already well outstripped Air NZ's take off and landing tally and thus arguably have a better safety record - if thats how you choose to measure it and many do.
The Titanic has the worst safety record of any man made mass transportation device.
So I don't see your point. I'm no great fan of Ryanair but I think it unfair when people hurl safety related criticism at them when they have a damn fine safety record built over a lot of busy sectors, through busy airspace to sometimes minimal facility destinations.
Anyway, I always thought it was going too slowly in aeroplanes that was dangerous...?!
