Most western airlines enjoy the same high standard of safety. Customer care and courtesy vary though.

Most airlines are pretty safe. You might want to avoid the airlines operated by 3rd world countries. They tend to have older aged aircraft and their pilots are less skilled at flying. The maintenance on those aircraft are a bit questionable also. But the major/largest airlines in the world are very safe.

All airlines are pretty much "safe" nowadays. There are a few that I would avoid- mostly from poorer, 3rd-world countries simply because they don't have the resources to regularly perform the necessary safety checks that most airlines do.

the unsafest are Aeorflot (Russian Airlines since 1953 127 crashes with 6,875 fatalities) and American Airlines (yep, they have had a lot of problems with planes and such, but I liked flying with them, they are pretty good)

Go for Air France, apart from concorde (and that wasn't their fault) pretty squeeky clean. Avoid anything African or South American (and the Rusky's are a definite no no)

They are all pretty safe as they are governed by the Civil Aviation Authority
