Why are countries or airlines on the UK Air Safety List?

The UK Air Safety List comprises of states and airlines that have failed to demonstrate that they meet relevant international safety standards to the best of the UK鈥檚 knowledge. They are therefore banned from operating into, out of or within the UK.鈥� 鈥�聽

The UK Air Safety List is a legal responsibility of the Secretary of State for Transport which has been delegated to officials. The list is independently managed by the Department for Transport through the Air Safety Committee which reviews any states or airlines that may not be meeting internationally agreed safety standards. This process is done in consultation with aviation safety experts at the UK Civil Aviation Authority.

The UK adds countries or airlines to the Air Safety List where it:

• finds these standards are not met
• considers these pose a severe and ongoing risk to the safety of operations

The Air Safety List therefore has 3 key functions:

• protect British nationals wherever they are travelling in the world
• inform British nationals of aviation safety compliance so that consumers can make informed decisions
• deter poor safety performance of foreign airlines or states

The air safety list is routinely reviewed every 3 months, or by exception where required.

Advice to British nationals and consumers

Through the UK Air Safety List, it is hoped that British nationals will be able to make better informed decisions about their choice of airline before booking. This will help limit the exposure of British nationals to airlines with poor safety standards.

As a passenger, you have the right to know the identity of every airline that you are flying with during your trip. An airline is required to inform you of the identity of the operating airline or airlines when making a reservation and on your ticket.

You should check if the airline you are travelling on is safe. If the airline is listed on the UK Air Safety list, it means that:

• they are not compliant with minimum international safety standards
• the UK has determined it is an unsafe airline

You are recommended to not book or fly on a airline listed on the air safety list, for your safety.

How the air safety list interacts with third country operators approvals

To operate Commercial Air Transport operations to, from and within the UK, airlines require a UK issued third country operator (TCO) approval, issued by the UK Civil Aviation Authority.

Whilst the TCO system operates as a separate system to the UK air safety list and is operated solely by the UK Civil Aviation Authority, decisions taken in relation to TCOs will also be considered as part of the UK air safety list process, where identified deficiencies are considered severe enough for air safety list consideration.

Why aviation safety matters

The UK government is committed to ensuring UK airspace and UK airlines are amongst the safest in the world and to improving the high safety standards in aviation. Civil aviation is highly regulated and monitored to help ensure the highest levels of safety and compliance with international safety standards. In addition, the UK鈥檚 State Safety Programme makes a commitment to protecting British nationals and reducing the likelihood of being involved in an accident anywhere in the world.

Legal disclaimer

The sets out the general criteria for consideration of an operating ban for safety related reasons. This regulation and annex has been retained in UK law. It should be noted that this criterion is not exhaustive, and additional safety considerations may be taken into account when making assessments and determinations in relation to the inclusion on or removal from the UK Air Safety List. All decisions are taken according to the merits of each individual case on the basis of available evidence and by reference to the relevant safety standards and considerations.

Additional information

Inclusion on the Air Safety List indicates that airlines and states do not meet internationally agreed safety standards, to the best of the UK鈥檚 knowledge.

Maximum effort has been made to verify the exact identity of all airlines in the UK Air Safety List. If a state has been banned, but not all airlines identified, it can be understood that all airlines certified in the state are banned from operating within the UK.

Airlines subject to an operating ban may be permitted to operate within the UK by using a wet-leased aircraft of an airline, which is not subject to an operating ban. This relies on the aircraft and associated airline complying with the relevant safety standards. The aircraft being used could be branded as if it is a fleet of a banned airline.
