The European Union has banned all air carriers registered in Tanzania and Suriname from operating within its airspace, citing serious deficiencies in aviation safety oversight.
According to eunews.it, the decision reflects the EU’s continued enforcement of strict air safety standards aimed at protecting passengers and airspace integrity.
The European Commission updated the EU aviation safety list, which lists airlines subject to an operating ban or operational restrictions within the European Union because they do not meet international safety standards.
Based on this revision, all air carriers certified in Suriname and Tanzania have been included in the list and can no longer operate within the EU.
The reason, explains the Commissioner for Sustainable Transport, Apostolos Tzitzikostas, is the “serious deficiencies in national aviation oversight” for the two states. “We urge both countries to address these problems promptly.”
