Update to EU’s Blacklist of Banned Airlines

The European Commission’s Blacklist of Banned Airlines, which lists all airlines that are currently banned from flying into the countries of EU, was updated today for the ninth time.

Antonio Tajani, Commission Vice-President in charge of transport said:

“The blacklist is essentially a tool that ensures safer skies in Europe. Through this list Europeans and non-Europeans alike flying in Europe know that there exists a certain degree of safety on which they can rest assured.”

As I said back in July, while the airlines on the blacklist are banned from flying into EU countries, they are not necessarily banned in other countries. So if you’re in a foreign country outside the EU, I’d strongly recommend you check the list before you buy an airline ticket.
