Last update: 11 hours agoAviation Safety for Travelers: The EU updated its Air Safety List, banning 154 airlines from flying in EU airspace (including overflying) due to safety concerns; the list now includes Air Express Algeria (newly added) and removes all Kyrgyzstan-certified carriers after major safety oversight improvements. Who’s Affected: The ban covers 126 airlines across 16 countries for inadequate national oversight, including São Tomé and Príncipe, plus 22 Russia-certified airlines and six individual carriers elsewhere (including Air Zimbabwe, Avior Airlines, Iran Aseman Airlines, Fly Baghdad, and Iraqi Airways).
