PARIS Nov 9 (ETX Daily): The European Commission regularly updates a list of airlines that do not meet international safety standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The latest version of this document has just been released. And the good news is that the number of carriers concerned is falling<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ninety-seven airlines are now banned from European skies, down from 103 on the previous EU Air Safety List dating from July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some 90 carriers from 15 countries are not allowed to fly their aircraft within the common space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These countries are: Afghanistan, Angola, Armenia, Congo, Democratic Republic of Congo, Djibouti, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Kyrgyzstan, Liberia, Libya, Nepal, S\u00e3o Tom\u00e9 and Pr\u00edncipe, Sierra Leone and Sudan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In concrete terms, these airlines do not follow safety rules scrupulously enough to be recommended to European travellers, the Commission points out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition, seven individual airlines have been banned based due to \u201cserious safety deficiencies,\u201d namely Avior Airlines (Venezuela), Blue Wing Airlines (Suriname), Iran Aseman Airlines (Iran), Iraqi Airways (Iraq), Med-View Airlines (Nigeria), Skol Airline LLC (Russia) and Air Zimbabwe (Zimbabwe).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Note, however, that airlines certified in Moldova have now been removed from the EU Air Safety List.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
