The European Commission has banned Air Tanzania from operating within the EU due to safety deficiencies identified by the EASA. This follows the denial of the airline's TCO authorization. The ban underscores the EU's commitment to aviation safety and reflects a growing trend of restrictions on African airlines.
The European Commission has banned Air Tanzania from operating within European Union airspace, adding it to the EU Air Safety List. This decision follows the denial of Air Tanzania's Third Country Operator (TCO) authorization by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which cited significant safety deficiencies. The EU Air Safety List comprises airlines that fail to meet international safety standards.
Commissioner Tzitzikostas emphasized the importance of passenger safety, stating: 'The decision to include Air Tanzania in the EU Air Safety List underscores our unwavering commitment to ensuring the highest safety standards. We strongly urge Air Tanzania to take swift action to address these safety issues. The Commission has offered its assistance to Tanzanian authorities to enhance safety performance and achieve compliance with international aviation standards.' Air Tanzania joins several African airlines banned from EU airspace, including carriers from Angola, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Sudan, and Kenya. Notable names include Congo Airways, Sudan Airways, and Kenyan carriers Silverstone Air Services and Skyward Express. The ban reflects the EU's strict approach to aviation safety worldwide
