Air Iran hit by new EU aviation blacklist

Air Iran has seen the European Union expand operating restrictions against its activities in the latest aviation blacklist.

With the airline already making headlines this week following reports European airports were refusing to refuel Air Iran aircraft, the EU was quick to deny recent UN sanctions were the motivation behind the latest move.

“We deal purely with safety requirements,” explained a transport commission spokesperson, “our controls focus entirely on safety, nothing else”.
