EU airline blacklist

Practical information

In 2006, in response to frequent fatal airline crashes, the European Union banned 92 airlines. Declared unsafe according to international standards, they are not permitted to land at European airports. The EU created the blacklist in response to several fatal airline crashes in Greece, Italy, and Egypt in 2004 and 2005, and has since updated the list. As of November 2010, the list has grown to over 278 airlines. Upon departure from the UK you will, of course, not be given the choice of the following airlines, but the list is worth skimming if you are in the process of booking internal flights at your destination.
