LaoPo Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 (edited) Phuket Air is included in a BLACKLIST of 96* Airlines which are completely banned from flying into European Members' countries. Mainly from Africa, Central Asia and a few others. http://www.euronews.net/create_html.php?pa...le=349930&lng=1 * some reports speak of 93, others 96 airlines.

Levent Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 I´m pretty sure that the list is made based not only on safety audits and/or concerns but political issues as well. For example, Air Koryo of North Korea operates a fleet of Russian-built aircraft in pristine condition. The airline is probably banned because it is part of G.W.'s "Axis of Evil".

The EU has been lock step with the Bush administration. cv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
