The European Commission has placed Ukraine's Urga Airline
(Kropyvnytsky) to the EU Air Safety 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.
According to a press release of the European Commission, the
company is placed 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 authorization.
Following the update of the list, a total of 181 airlines
are banned from EU skies.
Urga Airline was founded in 1993. Since December 1994 the
airline has been placed on the list of official UN carriers.
