This is what freaks me out about these cheap airlines. If you ever watch mayday, some of those crashes have to do with planes that have poor safety records that are operated by cheap cost saving airlines. Sure you save a couple hundred dollars. But to be honest, i'd much rather fly on an airline that has hundreds of planes and a well thought out safety plan and training for crew and piliots.

Sure, any plane can crash due to any number of things, but these discount airlines just freak me out.

I'm pretty sure to get your airline banned anywhere, you have to do some majorly wrong things. Like major safety issues. Stick to the larger reliable airlines.

Edit, I see it's the plane they banned, not the airline, which seems kind of strange to me. If they are having safety issues with one plane, wouldn't they be likley to follow through with safety issues in the rest of their fleet? Not to mention Yemenia Airways isn't really a discount carrier. But looking at them it seems they only have 14 planes total.
