For some very important security reasons, the EU has added to its blacklist of airlines, the machines of two airlines from Ghana. The blacklisted airlines may in future not be allowed to land in Europe, for safety reasons.
According to the EU experts in Brussels the airlines are due to some acute security reasons not worthy for flights to Europe. The EU has therefore set those two airlines from Ghana to its blacklist.
The two Airlines are, THE MERIDIAN AIRWAYS which has been given a complete ban on flights to Europe because the company had failed the inspection of both the aircraft and several ground facilities. The second airline which is, AIRLIFT INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY has three of his machines affected, with serious deficiencies noted. However a fourth aircraft of the Airlift Int. society may continue to fly (to and) in Europe.
The EU Transport Commissioner Siim Kallas said that should be allowed in the flight safety without compromise. “If we have evidence that the flight operations of airlines is not safe, we must interfere.”
The blacklist of the EU was first published in 2006 and now updated 15 times. A total of 278 companies from 17 countries are covered with a flight ban.
