The European Commission updated the EU Air Safety List, adding Avior Airlines (Venezuela), to the list.
Avior Airlines (certified in Venezuela) is added to the list due to unaddressed safety deficiencies that were detected by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) during the assessment for a third country operator authorisation (TCO).
Two airlines were removed from the list: Mustique Airways of St. Vincent and the Grenadines and Aviation Company Urga (Ukraine) because they made sufficient safety improvements since their inclusion to the Air Safety List in May 2017.
172 airlines certified in 16 states, due to a lack of safety oversight by the aviation authorities from these states.
