Iraqi Airlines banned from just Sweden, or EU?
My daughter's friend and family are stranded in Erbil, Iraq/Kurdistan after they were told that their carrier, Iraqi Airlines, was banned from flying to Europe. I have checked the EU air safety website and there is nothing to confirm this.
However, I found this. Iraqi Airways banned by Swedish authorities
The flight the family were due to take was routed via Malmo, so it has been cancelled and that would appear to be that. But I'm told the Iraqi Airways direct flight to MAN was cancelled yesterday.
So does a Swedish ban automatically mean an EU ban? How do these things work? And what happens to my daughter's friends?!
Thanks in advance for any input.

Ta.
I don't know how much the press officers are paid in the EU, but even if it's 20 quid a week, it's too much. Iraqi Airlines has joined an illustrious list (when the aforementioned press officers can be arsed to update the website).
