The recent plane crash in Nepal has once again underscored the critical importance of air travel safety. What many travelers might not know is that the European Union (EU) keeps a blacklist of airlines from countries that fail to meet international safety standards. This list serves as a crucial resource for ensuring safer travel choices.

In a tragic aviation incident on July 24, a Saurya Airlines aircraft carrying 19 passengers crashed at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu, Nepal. The aircraft, which was preparing to take off for the resort city of Pokhara, veered off the runway, resulting in a catastrophic accident.

In addition to Nepal, the countries with airlines on this blacklist include Afghanistan, Angola, Armenia, Congo, Djibouti, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Kyrgyzstan, Liberia, Libya, Sierra Leone, Sudan, and Sao Tome and Principe. Airlines from these nations are banned from operating in the EU due to safety concerns.

The EU blacklist is designed to help travelers make informed decisions about their flight options. By being aware of these restrictions, passengers can avoid airlines that might not adhere to the highest safety protocols.

Sharing this information within your network can contribute to safer travel for everyone. Ensuring that friends and family are aware of the EU blacklist can help them choose airlines that prioritize safety, thereby reducing the risk associated with flying.

The EU Air Safety List acts as a safeguard for passengers, ensuring that unsafe airlines are not permitted to operate within the European Union. This list is updated regularly and includes airlines from different countries that do not meet international safety standards.
