EU Bans All Airlines From Djibouti, Sao Tome, Republic Congo
Quote:
BRUSSELS (Dow Jones)--The European Commission has banned all airlines from Djibouti, Sao Tome & Principe and the Republic of Congo from flying to the European Union because of safety concerns, it said Friday.
The commission, the EU's executive body, also said in the statement that it has lifted a ban on three Ukrainian airlines--Ukraine Cargo Airways, Volare and Motor Sich. Angola's TAAG Airlines has been allowed to increase the number of aircraft it uses in flights to Portugal, the commission added.
The commission has a "blacklist" of airlines that aren't allowed to fly to the EU because of safety concerns which it updates regularly. Friday's was the 12th update.
"The list serves as a preventive instrument for safeguarding aviation safety," the commission said. "The list also acts as a last resort when serious safety problems persist by imposing restrictions or banning access to European airspace," it added.
