Dark Days for Airlines
Friday, November 18th, 2005
The EU voted 577 to 16 Wednesday to establish a blacklist of airlines the bloc considers unsafe. The new blacklist, yet to be released, “would probably name a ‘few dozen’ airlines.” Similar lists in EU member countries include airlines from around the world in countries like Thailand, Ukraine, and Ghana. None of the blacklisted airlines will be permitted to fly in the EU, but the list won’t effect operations outside Europe. More blacklist news here, and caveat emptor.
