Global airline body blasts EU safety regulator over Belarus ban
PARIS (Reuters) – Global airline industry body IATA on Friday criticised a decision by European air safety regulators to ban overflights of Belarus amid outrage over its interception of a Ryanair jet, saying aviation safety must never be 'politicised'.The broadside from IATA chief Willie Walsh came after the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) ordered governments to ban overflights of Belarus by their airlines, upgrading an earlier recommendation.'This is a retrograde and disappointing development,' Walsh said in a statement issued by the International Air Transport Association, which counts most of the world's major airlines among its 293 members.
