Airlines Black List

Before you board your next flight it may be worth to check if the airline you are using has not been blacklisted by civil aviation authorities due to safety concerns.

1. European black list (118 airlines black-listed)

Airlines are banned or have restricted rights only when there are data demonstrating that they infringed specific regulation criteria. These criteria are based on the results of ground controlled performed on European airports, on the usage of aircraft badly maintained, dilapidated or obsolete, on the airline incapability to correct default identified during inspections and on the incapacity of the Authority in charge of the airline oversight and surveillance to perform this task.
