European media and analysts have said that the airline blacklists
released by Belgium, France and Switzerland do not go far enough in
addressing safety concerns.
Switzerland's list contains only two airlines that are banned from
using the country's airports or airspace because of issues with safety
or maintenance records, while Belgium and France have a total of 14
airlines on their lists. According to those who criticised the lists
as failing to address the safety concerns after recent crashes, the
number fails to include all the companies that are a cause for concern.
Pierre Condom, editorial director of the magazine Interavia, said the
Swiss list is "a farce" because one airline has no aircraft anymore
and the other transports cargo. According to the Swiss federal office
for civil aviation (BAZL), the two banned airlines are Flash Airlines
(Egypt) and Air Van Airlines (Armenia).
