EU bans more airlines
13th April, 2009
The European Union has banned many more airlines from its airspace.
The 27-nation EU has banned all Benin-based airlines, six Kazakh carriers, a Thai operator and a Ukrainian airline.
The list of unsafe carriers is an update of a blacklist first drawn up by the European Commission in March 2006.
More than 90 airlines, mainly from Africa, are on the list.
The ban already covers carriers from nations including Angola, Gabon, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Liberia, Rwanda, Indonesia and North Korea.
The other newly barred carriers are Kazakhstan's Air Company Kokshetau, ATMA Airlines, Berkut Air, East Wing, Sayat Air and Starline KZ, Thailand's One-Two-Go Airlines and Ukraine's Motor Sich Airlines.
EU governments have come up with a common blacklist for some airlines after crashes in 2004 and 2005 killed hundreds of European travellers.
