Travellers' Advisory: yours to cut out and keep

The European Commission has just published its latest list of airlines banned from European airspace. This isn't going to do you much good in Europe, because most of these airlines would never get to Europe, but it is a handy guide for those intrepid travellers who venture further afield. You now know which airlines to avoid when crossing Africa and Asia.

It is nice to think that a Eurocrat has taken a flight on board these death traps so that you don't have to do the same.
