Travel & Working / List of Banned Airlines

Air safety is one of the biggest concerns for travellers and authorities alike, and new security initiatives are being investigated all the time.

Whilst the European Union and its Member States are working with safety authorities in other countries to raise safety standards across the world, there are still some airlines operating below essential safety levels.

In 2005, the EU agreed joint rules for keeping European airspace free from airlines and aircraft considered to be unsafe by banning such airlines from operating with the EU.

The European Commission checks and updates the list of banned airlines at least every three months. Use the links below to learn more about the list of banned airlines.
