Caribbean carrier Mustique Airways has been placed on a blacklist by the European Union because of safety deficiencies.
The airline, registered in St Vincent and the Grenadines, has been placed on the list, which prohibits it from flying in EU air space.
The EU Air Safety List ‘seeks to ensure the highest level of air safety for European citizens’.
Air Zimbabwe, Urga of the Ukraine and Med-View in Nigeria were also recently added to the list of banned carriers.
But all airlines certified in Benin and Mozambique have been removed.
A total of 181 airlines are now banned from EU skies, following the update.
Update: Mustique Airways was removed from the Air Safety List in December 2017
