Another carrier on the black EU list. It is better not to fly with these lines

Travelers who planned a departure to Tanzania receive an SMS with information that the European Commission recognized all Tanzania and Surinam airlines as dangerous and excluded them from flights to from Europe. There are 169 airlines from 17 countries on the black EU leaves from Tuesday, including 12 from Africa.

By imposing restrictions on Tanzanian and Suriname lines, the Commission explained that institutions responsible for civil aviation in both countries “are not able to provide compliance with international security standards.”

European Union experts accused these lines, among others, the lack of an adequate number of qualified staff and “ineffective processes of supervision over aviation operations and flight experience.”

The national carrier of Tanzania, Air Tanzania, hit the black list at the end of last year. And one of the carriers from Surinam, Blue Wing Airlines, was one of the first operators who were placed on it when the Commission launched their aviation security program in 2006. It has not been removed from it so far.

Currently, on this list, due to insufficient safety supervision, there are 142 lines from: Afghanistan, Angola, Armenia, Congo, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Djibuti, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Kyrgyz, Liberia, Libya, Nepal, Saint Tomasz and Prince, Sierra Leone, Sudan, Sudan, Sudan, Sudan, Sudan, Sudan, Tanzania.

The next on the list are 22 airlines certified in Russia and five individual airlines from other countries, with serious safety shortcomings: Air Zimbabwe (Zimbabwe), Avior Airlines (Venezuela), Iran Aseman Airlines (Iran), Fly Baghdad (Iraq) and Iraqi Airways (Iraq).

Two additional airlines are subject to operational restrictions and can fly to the EU only with specific types of aircraft: Iran Air (Iran) and Air Koryo (Korean People's Democratic Republic).

Africa has a bad reputation when it comes to the safety of its airlines. A few days ago in the capital of Liberia, Monrowia, a plane with the president of this country landed with a damaged tire with a damaged tire. But there are also very safe lines on the continent. If this concept is defined with the number of disasters, the national carrier of poor Ethiopia, Ethiopian Airlines, should be considered one of the safest in the world. Over the past 70 years, these lines suffered only four events in which they died to the passenger, including the kidnapping of 1996, which ended in the death of 125 people.

The African Air Mauritius, Air Seyhelles or Tunisair have not recorded any fatalities for at least the last 30 years.
