Equatorial Guinea has 11 international airlines? Who knew?

If the pilot has to get out of the cockpit and spin the propeller by hand before taking off, they won't be allowed.
To: gondramB
Probably one plane per company.

Yes, I believe 7 of them are using the new Ford Trimotor with the turboprop engines.
LOL

targeting mostly African carriers as it tries to boost air security and reassure travelers that European skies are safe. The executive European Commission approved the blacklistBlacklisting African carriers? Racially-tinged innuendo or unintentional pun? (just kidding)...

Thailand‘s Phuket Airlines...Oh well, Phuket. We'll just reschedule.
To: Dog Gone
But they still go in and out of the cockpit while in the air over the EU. Or at least they were doing in last year when I flew on four flights in the EU.

Oh well, Phuket. We'll just reschedule. It takes real balls to fly an airline named Phuket.

The EU agrees with you 100%! :-)

92 Airlines banned?
What a misleading headline, and a really lame way to report a story.
50 airlines from the Democratic Republic of Congo?
Seems like a real stretch to call a one aircraft company an airline.
Wouldn't it be more useful to list the countries that have been banned? Even if it's just a half a dozen it's useful information...

50 airlines in the Congo!!
Is each air-worthy plane defined as its own airline?

But the good news is they don't hassle you much going through security, because there isn't any.

I have it on good authority that at least 30 of the 50 airlines share the same plane.
