Correct me if I am wrong, but I seem to recall that Jordan Aviation were banned by the French CAA (DGAC) from flying into France some time ago because of safety concerns. Why is it that an operator is banned in one or more EU countries, yet can quite happily continue to operate into others ?
A similar anomaly is Turkish carrier Onur Air. I believe they are due to operate one or more charters to the Champions League final in Istanbul next week. Again, there are safety issues and Onur Air are currently banned from Germany, Netherlands, France, Italy and Switzerland. Funny then, that the UK CAA considers them fit to operate these flights from the UK. I thought under JAR all EU states should use the same criteria when it comes to air safety.
Anybody ?
