European Union considering ban on Turkish Airlines and FlyDubai within European airports

NordenBladet – The European Union is considering a ban on Turkish Airlines and FlyDubai within European Airports. Both aviation companies fly migrants to Belarus. “The EU is investigating how to sanction, including blacklisting, aviation companies from third countries that are active in human trafficking,” said the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, on Monday.

“Two High Representatives from the EU, Josep Borrell and Margaritis Schinas, will travel to countries such as Armenia, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates, to make them stop flying people to Minsk,” added von der Leyen.

Majority of the “human trafficking” is arranged via the airline company Belavia. This airline is already banned in the EU.

Data from Minsk Airport show that Turkish aviation company Turkish Airlines still continues transporting migrants from Istanbul to Minsk. Turkish Airlines is very popular among EU tourists, conveyed EUobserver.

Migrants are also transported with flights via UAE low-priced company FlyDubai and Syrian company Cham Wings.

Von der Leyen announced the warning after people from Iraq attempted breaking through the barbed wire on Belarusian-Polish border.
