There aren't that many airlines with no fatal or serious accidents or incidents in the last 30-40 years. For example, by that measure, the number 1 on the list linked above, Qantas, doesn't qualify, having had two major incidents in the last two decades.

I'm not sure about serious accidents, but there seems to be many airlines with no fatalities in the past 40 years. But perhaps Qantas just stays #1 since it has had no jet-plane crash (and no crash at all since 1951). Or perhaps it's the "Rain man" quote where Dustin Hoffman says Qantas never crashes; that cemented their position as the safest airline in history.
Ryanair certainly seems very safe, but with all those new MAX planes, who knows how long that will last.
