A total of 96 airlines are not allowed to land in the EU. Armenian carriers are now also on the infamous “black list”.

With immediate effect, Armenian airlines are part of the Exiled Club: The European Commission has put all airlines based in Armenia on the “black list”. Thus, they are no longer allowed to fly to the European Union. The airlines concerned would not meet international safety standards.   

However, the Commission is ready to help to improve flight safety in Armenia, said European Transport Minister Adina Valean. In any case, this measure should not be seen as a punishment, but rather as an opportunity to increase safety on board. Overall belong 96 carriers the list.
