How A330-200 or 243 would be much safer under the ETOPS terms? I am flying this week to France in an Airbus A330-200. I have a phobia of flying I have several questions here on the aviation forum. The plane is A330-200 is the one we're going with and I am reading about it. It works under the term ETOPS.

I read this part and now I am scared more than ever and I didn't understand it correctly:


  In aviation vernacular, the colloquial backronym is "Engines Turn Or
  Passengers Swim", referring to the inevitable emergency water landing
  of a twin engine aircraft after a double engine failure over water
  outside gliding range of land. But ETOPS operation has no direct
  correlation to water or distance over water. It refers to flight times
  between diversion airports, regardless as to whether such fields are
  separated by water or land.


The company I am flying with, its fleet has an average age of 5.6 years in 2016, making MEA one of the youngest fleets in the world.
ETOPS (Extended Twin Operations - at least that’s what it used to be called) is a set of rules comprising of flight planning, flight operations, aircraft maintenance, flight training and administrative procedures which are geared towards making aircraft operations safe in those regions where diversion airfields are not easily found, e.g. when crossing large oceans.

When these rules are obeyed (i.e. when operating under ETOPS), that should make flying very safe.
