26.11.2009 1/17 Liste Des Transporteurs Aériens Faisant L'objet D'une Interdiction D'exploitation Générale Dans La Communaut
26.11.2009 AVERTISSEMENT JURIDIQUE Les autorités responsables de l’aviation civile des États membres de la Communauté européenne sont seulement en mesure d’inspecter les avions des compagnies aériennes exploitant des vols à destination ou au départ des aéroports de la Communauté et, compte tenu du caractère aléatoire de ces inspections, il n’est pas possible de contrôler tous les avions qui atterrissent à chaque aéroport de la Communauté. Le fait qu’une compagnie aérienne ne figure pas sur la liste communautaire ne signifie donc pas automatiquement qu’elle respecte les normes de sécurité applicables. Si une compagnie aérienne figurant sur la liste communautaire estime être en conformité avec les éléments techniques et exigences prescrits par les normes de sécurité internationales applicables, elle peut demander à la Commission de lancer la procédure pour sa suppression de la liste. Tout a été mis en œuvre pour s’assurer de l’identité exacte de toutes les compagnies aériennes reprises dans la liste communautaire, où figurent notamment : le code alphabétique unique attribué à chaque compagnie aérienne par l’OACI, l’Etat de certification et le numéro du certificat (ou de la licence d’exploitation) de l’opérateur aérien. Néanmoins, une vérification complète n’a pas été possible dans tous les cas en raison d’un manque total d’informations concernant certaines compagnies aériennes qui opèrent à la limite, ou tout à fait en dehors, du régime d’aviation reconnu au niveau international. Il n’est donc pas exclu que certaines compagnies opèrent de bonne foi sous le même nom commercial que des compagnies figurant sur la liste communautaire.

04.12.2012 1 ALLEGATO ALLEGATO a ELENCO DEI VETTORI AEREI SOGGETTI a DIVIETO OPERATIVO NEL TERRITORIO DELL'unione EUROPEA Denom
04.12.2012 AVVISO LEGALE Le autorità dell'aviazione civile degli Stati membri della Comunità europea sono abilitate a ispezionare soltanto i vettori aerei di compagnie che volano da/verso aeroporti comunitari; dato il carattere aleatorio di tali controlli, effettuati a caso, non è possibile esaminare tutti gli aeromobili che atterrano in ogni aeroporto comunitario. Che una compagnia aerea non figuri nell’elenco comunitario non significa quindi automaticamente che essa soddisfi i criteri di sicurezza vigenti. Qualora una compagnia aerea che invece figura nell'elenco ritenga di ottemperare ai requisiti tecnici necessari prescritti dalle norme internazionali di sicurezza vigenti, può chiedere alla Commissione che venga avviata la procedura per ottenere la cancellazione dall'elenco. Nessuno sforzo è stato tralasciato per accertarsi dell’esatta identità delle singole compagnie che figurano nell'elenco comunitario. In particolare si è provveduto a includere gli elementi seguenti: gli specifici codici alfabetici assegnati a ogni compagnia dall’ICAO (e attribuiti un’unica volta) e l’indicazione dello Stato che ha rilasciato il certificato di operatore aereo (o la licenza di esercizio), col relativo numero di riferimento. Tuttavia, non è stato possibile procedere a un controllo completo in tutti i casi, data la totale assenza di informazioni per alcune compagnie aeree, che potrebbero operare ai limiti o al di fuori del sistema di aviazione internazionalmente riconosciuto. Non è pertanto possibile escludere la presenza di società che operino in

Legal Notice
5.3.2007 LEGAL NOTICE The civil aviation authorities of Member States of the European Community are only able to inspect aircraft of airlines that operate flights to and from Community airports; and in view of the random nature of such inspections, it is not possible to check all aircraft that land at each Community airport. The fact that an airline is not included in the Community list does not, therefore, automatically mean that it meets the applicable safety standards. Where an airline which is currently included in the Community list deems itself to be in conformity with the necessary technical elements and requirements prescribed by the applicable international safety standards, it may request the Commission to commence the procedure for its removal from the list. Every effort has been made to verify the exact identity of all airlines included on the Community list – namely through the inclusion of: the specific letter codes assigned (and unique) to each airline by the ICAO, the State of certification and the air operator certificate (or operating licence) number. Nonetheless, absolute verification has not been possible in all cases owing to a total lack of information surrounding some airlines that might be operating on the border of, or altogether outside, the recognised international aviation regime. It can therefore not be excluded that there might be companies operating in good faith under the same trading name as an airline included on the Community list. LIST OF AIR CARRIERS OF WHICH ALL OPERATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO A BAN WITHIN THE COMMUNITY[1] Name of the legal entity of Air Operator Certificate ICAO airline State of the the air carrier as indicated (AOC) Number or designation Operator on its AOC (and its trading Operating Licence Number number name, if different) AIR KORYO Unknown KOR Democratic People Republic of Korea (DPRK) AIR WEST CO.
