Breaking News: EU Bars Nigerian Airline From Its Airspace Due To Safety

The European Commission has barred Nigerian airline, Med-View, from operating within its airspace over safety reasons. The airline was one of those under the EU Air Safety List Annex A, which includes all airlines banned from operating in Europe.

A total of 181 airlines were barred from flying into Europe, with 174 airlines barred due to safety oversight by aviation authorities in their home countries.

The EU Air Safety List is a list of non-European airlines that do not meet international safety standards, and are therefore subject to an operating ban or operational restrictions within the European Union.

In the updated version, all air carriers from Benin Republic and Mozambique were removed from the list, while four individual airlines, one each from Nigeria, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Ukraine, and Zimbabwe, were added.

Although Med-View is yet to make an official statement on the development, sources said they are working to resolve the issue and that the United Kingdom authorities would soon visit Nigeria to carry out safety audit on the airline.

What has this got to do with Buhari... Medviews poor management is Medviews problem not Buhari's problem. Since you went down that route please under whose government did Air Nigeria disappear? I could remember the Air hostess bringing out a bowl begging for money to buy fuel before taking off at London Gatwick
