The European Commission has barred Nigerian airline,
Med-View Airlines, from operating within its airspace over safety reasons.
A total of 181 airlines were barred from flying into Europe,
with 174 airlines barred due to safety oversight by aviation authorities in
their home countries.
The EU Air Safety List is a list of non-European airlines
that do not meet international safety standards, and are therefore subject to
an operating ban or operational restrictions within the European Union.
In the updated version, all air carriers from Benin Republic
and Mozambique were removed from the list, while four individual airlines, one
each from Nigeria, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Ukraine, and Zimbabwe, were
added.
Although Med-View is yet to make an official statement on
the development, sources said they are working to resolve the issue and that
the United Kingdom authorities would soon visit Nigeria to carry out safety
audit on the airline.
