Default Don't fly with............

I know many would have their own horror stories of bad, and unsafe Airlines,
most just shout either Ryanair, Air France or BA nowadays,
but as the new Holiday Season for 2010 comes around again,
the following Airlines are all banned from European Airspace but of course can be used on onward or Flights when abroad so beware.

But what many do not realise is the extraordinary amount of work which goes on behind the scenes to protect their safety.
A lot of this work is carried out in the sober corridors of the European Commission, which regularly audits airlines from around the world to ensure they meet the exacting criteria necessary to fly European citizens. Airlines which fail to make the grade will simply not be allowed to fly in European airspace.
"We cannot afford any compromises in air safety, we have to remain vigilant; citizens have the right to fly safely every where in the world," explains commission vice-president Antonio Tajani.

Blacklist
The first line of defence against potentially unsafe airlines is the Commission's blacklist - which details all airlines barred from European airspace. While largely composed of African and Asian airlines, there are also a number closer to home:

Current List of banned Airlines from European Airspace are:

That's a heck of a list, John. Wouldn't it be easier to publish a white-list?

I'm not concerned about using BA. They just lose baggage, not planes.

Isn't Ukrane in Europe now? If so, how do they fly their planes if they are banned from European airspace?

They would be prohibited from Landing at any Airport In Europe or crossing the Air Space but could still operate in their own skies (if permission given) and also on Flights to Africa and elsewhere of course and do.

If some of the European Airlines keep cutting back on service costs and schedules as well as the Pilots not being given training on flying without Computer facilities there will be a few more added this year.
