Comair banned from European skies?


Yesterday, Wednesday (?) the EU banned some 92, mostly African, airlines from its skies. Obviously not all of these airlines fly to Europe or within Europe or across Europe, but nonetheless, it is a pretty damning condemnation of their safety records.
Among the airlines banned were, Airlink Swaziland, Jet Africa, and Swazi Express Airways.
At least ten airlines from Equatorial Guinea were banned while from the Congo the prohibited list was extraordinary in its length. Airlines such as Africa One, CO-ZA Airways, Waltair Aviation, Global Airways and Uhuru Airlines were banned, as was Comair. Air Service Comores also suffered the same indignity.
One supposes that some might just have to mark time until their record improves. Just for the sceptics out there, the list may be found on the following link.
One hopes it provides subtle amusement..

I don't think that is the most current list. The new list bans all 51
Indonesian Airlines, and there is no mention of said on the list posted.
I think that is an old link perhaps.

It might be the other Comair- the one that lost an aircraft a couple of months back?!

comair mistaken Identity

This is not the SouthnAfrican Comair but a Eastern bloc Comair airline that was slated sometime in an Australian flight magazine which said that Comair had a poor safety record .they subsequently had to print an apology in the magazine after Comair South Africa took them to task on the article.
