It's hard to say. Boeing has had 3.8x times the number of flights resulting in fatalities since 2010 than has Airbus, for example. Therefore, Airbus is safer, right? Well, hold on - we need to know the number of miles flown by each type of plane in that interval and scale these numbers appropriately.
In short, this is going to take some digging and I haven't had the time to do the serious digging this requires. A cursory search reveals that nobody else has done this kind of research either. While I'm sure this statement isn't true, it's not easy to find, either.
