The EU Bans 92 Airlines
Mar 23rd, 2006 | By Jared BlankThe European Union banned 92 airlines (at least 89-to-92 of which you’ve never heard of) from flying to its member countries. The list (seen in full here) is heavy on African airlines, including a whopping 50 based in the Democratic Republic of Congo (the epicenter of the questionnable airline universe, apparently). Of the 92, you may have heard of Ariana Afghan, Phuket Airlines and Air Koryo (North Korea’s flag carrier). In case you were wondering, the best airline name ln the list is Kyrgyzstan’s Reem Air.
