FlyDamas want European ban to be lifted
In 2015, FlyDamas was blacklisted by the European Commision, preventing the airline from flying within the European airspace. Following a revision of the blacklist on 14th June 2018, FlyDamas remains as one of the airlines that are banned from Europe and FlyDamas don't know why.
Speaking on the matter, Director General of FlyDamas, Miran Farid, stated that he believes there's no reason why FlyDamas should remain on the blacklist, the airline has invited the European Commission to do an inspection of the airline, but apparently they've declined. Farid added that although FlyDamas were not taken off the blacklist in the recent revision, the airline is in talks to get a thorough inspection in November this year and remain confident that they'll be allowed to fly within Europe in 2019.
