Read our privacy policy The crash of an Indonesian passenger plane shortly after take-off from Jakarta Airport, with the loss of 189 lives, has focused attention once again on aviation safety. The first fatal accident of the year was also in February, when a Russian passenger plane crashed south of Moscow; 71 people died. If a country’s civil aviation authority properly enforces safety standards, there is no reason why a less wealthy country should have more dangerous aviation. In addition, six airlines from other countries are banned because of specific concerns: Avior Airlines of Venezuela, Iran Aseman Airlines, Iraqi Airways, Blue Wing Airlines of Suriname, Med-View Airlines of Nigeria and Air Zimbabwe.
