AFRAA criticize EU ban of airlines
The African Airlines Association (AFRAA) has lodged a formal complaint with the European Union over the blacklisting of some African airlines, an official said on Monday the 19th April.
The association Secretary General Nick Fadugba disclosed this to reporters in
The EU recently published a list of 13 African countries whose airlines are banned from flying into its airspace for what it called “safety concerns.”
Fadugba said the International Civil Aviation Organization, rather than the EU, had the authority to publish such a list as the global regulator of the aviation industry.
The AFRAA Scribe said the blacklisting had damaged the reputation and businesses of the affected airlines, whose safety records and adherence to ICAO standards were comparable to the best airlines in the world.
According to Fadugba, the European airlines are the ultimate beneficiaries of the ban as they have reportedly, dominated the African skies.
