EC adds to aviation blacklist
The European Commission has added three airlines to its blacklist of “unsafe” airlines, restricting or banning them from flying passengers or cargo in the European Union or to operate within European airspace.
Surinam-based Blue Wing and Kyrgyzstan-licensed Sky Gate International are now subject to a total ban while Sudan’s Air West is subject to operating restrictions.
Star Jet, based in Kyrgyzstan, was found to be the same company as Star Air, licensed in Sierra Leone and already banned within the European Union.
The revised list of airlines on the blacklist is available at:
