Check the EU's blacklisted airlines.
Is Meridian Airways, Africa Airways or Air Flamingo on the ticket for your next vacation, consider other options!
Along with more than 300 other companies, these companies are on the EU's growing list of airlines with "no-fly" in Europe.
The reason why companies end up on the list is that they can't document that they maintain a satisfactory safety standard.
If the airline companies end up on EU blacklist, the company's aircraft will not be allowed to land or take off at European airports.
If you fly in more exotic areas, it might be worth checking the list. Fortunately, airline accidents rarely happen, but I would not recommend anyone to sit in an airplane from a company that is on the list. There is a reason why it exists.
The list is updated regularly, and the two latest additions on the blacklist were added to the list in the beginning of September.
Meridian from Ghana Airways is on the list after a series of inspections by both the company's aircraft and facilities yielded extremely poor results, writes the EU-Commission on its website.
Airlift International, is also an airline company from Ghana, that according the European Commission, "a standard far below that required by international aviation."
Africa-dominance!
We can't compromise when it comes to aviation security. If we have evidence that an airline does not meet safety requirements, or if the authorities in a country fails to meet its obligations by enforcing safety standards, we must take steps to ensure that safety is not compromised, "said vice chairman of the European Commission, Siim Kallas, in a press release.
In 17 different countries, virtually all airlines are blacklisted. Most of these are African, but also in popular holiday and backpacker destinations like Indonesia and Philippines are the vast majority of airlines banned.
It's simply because the authorities in several of these countries do not have good enough security.
150 Norwegian controls annual.
The reason for black listing is comprehensive reports from the controls in the EU and EEA countries. Non-Norwegian-registered airplane's is also regularly checked in Norway.
Civil Aviation Safety Authority carries out 150 inspections each year with foreign companies. We have a checklist that contains 54 points. The list includes factors in the cockpit documentation in relation to the operator's skill, the crew license and equipment in the cabin, such as emergency equipment, fire extinguisher and something as simple as the seat belt works, "said Marit Kvarum, Information in the Civil Aviation Authority.
PS! Do not be fooled by airlines safe-sounding name. Among the companies on the list are seemingly secure companies such as Business Aviation, Air Trust and Safe Air Company.
