The Worst Airlines on the Planet

Posted by Ruth Miller on Tue 17th July 2007 at 06:00 AM, Filed in Travel NewsTravel Tips

We reported here, about how many airlines appear to be getting dirtier.

To put that in context the EU have produced a list of The World’s Worst Airlines.

Which includes:

Air Koryo, North Korea

Air Service Comores, Comores

Ariana Afghan Airlines, Afghanistan

BGB Air, Kazakhstan

GST Aero Air Company, Kazakhstan

Phoenix Aviation, Kyrgyzstan

Phuket Airlines, Thailand

Reem Air, Kyrgyzstan

Silverback Cargo Freighters, Rwanda

Africa One, Congo

African Company Airlines, Congo

In total there are 92 airlines highlighted on the list because they failed to meet international safety standards.

According to Times Online the EU Transport Minister Jacques Barrot described the banned aircraft as ‘flying coffins.’ Pretty damning to say the least!
