LONDON, Jan. 8 (UPI) -- Airlines from eight countries have been banned from British air space, the BBC reported Thursday.
All aircraft operated by airlines from Equatorial Guinea, Gambia, Liberia and Tajikistan were named as being barred for safety reasons. The others on the blacklist are Sierra Leone's Star Air and Air Universal, Cameroon Airlines, Albanian Airlines and Central Air Express, from Democratic Republic of Congo.
The public naming of the airlines previously banned follows the Flash Airline crash in Egypt last week and the revelation the Swiss had banned Flash.
