They may be off the blacklist, but I'd never let my loved ones onboard.

If any one airline should be on the so-called European blacklist, it should be AirFrance....as they seem to have the most hull losses of the bunch.

French pot calling kettle black.

So Garuda can restart their Amsterdam flights.

Yes, and timely too, with 77Ws on order.

One carrier which was added to the no-fly list was Iran's Mahan Air, which served Dusseldorf and used to serve BHX (which it had to stop after a slightly low approach).

Mahran were delisted almost a year ago.
Services resumed to Dusseldorf in November 2008 and Birmingham this month!
