BLACKLIST OF AIRLINES

The EU created a black list containing all dangerous airlines where the member states fear the safety standards to operate in the EU or Switzerland are not met. Even complete states may be part of this list if there are worries that certain safety standards are generally not met or supervised. Some of the trips we organize ourselves or negotiate with our clients on behalf of other companies make use of airlines that are part of this black list. Normally the reason for this is that there are no alternatives or they do not fit into our time schedule. As we offer many destinations in remote areas and countries the selection of airlines is very often strongly limited. The black list of the EU may be observed in the internet using the following link http://ec.europa.eu/transport/modes/air/safety/air-ban/index_en.htm, or directly in our offices.
