EU to ‘name and shame’ unsafe airlines
Airlines that fail to meet standard safety requirements will be ‘named and shamed’ under plans unveiled by the European Commission.
EU transport commissioner Jacques Barrot pledged a public website for passengers and for more information sharing by European air safety authorities by October, according to reports.
He said the crash of a West Caribbean Airways aircraft in Venezuela with the loss of 160 lives this week made an airlines blacklist vital.
The internet blacklist would highlight aircraft or airlines that have either been banned or restricted by any of the 25 EU countries, according to a report in The Guardian.
The proposal is expected to say that apssengers neecd to be told when one carrier is switched fore another for any reason between passengers booking and flying, the report said.
If there is a safety problem, travellers may have a cut-off date – possibly seven days – to cancel their booking at no additional cost.
