They may be off the blacklist, but I'd never let my loved ones onboard.
That's just my opinion, of course.
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.

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).
