EU bans Moldova in latest air safety list update

The EC has blacklisted Moldova and put Belarus and the Dominican Republic under closer scrutiny in its latest EU Air Safety List update, while also lifting bans on 2 Angolan airlines. Airlines that appear on the EU Air Safety List are subject to EU operating bans or restrictions because of shortcomings in their air safety oversight. “All the air carriers from Moldova, with the exception of Air Moldova, Fly One and Aerotranscargo, have been included in the list due to a lack of safety oversight by the civil aviation authority of Moldova,” the Commission said. “The civil aviation authorities of the Dominican Republic and of Belarus have been put under heightened scrutiny because of signs of a decrease in safety oversight.” <br/>
