Are budget airlines less safe?

No. Low-cost airlines figured out a way to save on operating costs by making sure each flight was full, by offering no-frills or zero amenities on board and in its terminals, and by charging passengers for any service not absolutely necessary. Just because some airlines are "budget" does not mean they are less safe.
