From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The following is a list of air carriers banned in the European
Union. The European Commission has, through
Commission Regulation (EC) No 474/2006 of 22 March 2006,
established a list of air carriers banned in the EU (a blacklist). It includes all
air carriers banned within the airspace of member states and air
carriers with restrictions imposed on them. The list was most recently
updated on 26 November 2009.
Background
The process by which an air carrier is blacklisted is laid out
in Regulation (EC) No 2111/2005 of the European
Parliament and Council. It involves consultation
between the regulatory agencies of the member states, the
institutions of the European Community, the authorities with
responsibility for regulatory oversight of the air carrier
concerned, and the air carrier itself. Before being listed, each
air carrier has right of appeal. The list is subject to periodical
review and the European Commission publishes the
updated list online.[1]
The list is part of a process to improve safety standards and
identify airlines operating below essential safety levels. The
European Union has decided to ban airlines from European airspace
when they have been found to be unsafe.
