    The airlines from Venezuela and Suriname wouldn’t have to leave their continent to use EU airspace because of their proximity to French Guiana, which explains why the EU cares about small South American carriers that don’t operate flights to Europe.

    Yes, commercial aviation is extremely safe. But one of the main reasons it is so safe is because of strict oversight as described in this video. I am glad that I can buy a plane ticket in Europe and know that the airline has properly trained pilots, properly maintained aircraft, etc.

      Because the UK has left the European Union (Brexit), the UK is no longer part of the Common Aviation Area. Unless permission or new treaties with the UK are made, aviation to and from the UK may stop[needs update].[12] There was a delay in this hard Brexit until the end of 2020, because the Brexit withdrawal agreement states that most EU rules continue to be valid for the UK during 2020. However, EU has approved regulations 2019/494 and 2019/505 in order to secure air traffic between UK and EU plus EEA.[13] Also, the British government has taken various steps to ensure the continuation of air travel, such as an open skies agreement with the United States.[14] The British airline EasyJet which has many flights outside the UK has set up a subsidiary in Austria (easyJet Europe) whilst keeping its headquarters in Luton, England.

    I remember when my country Indonesia's flagship and one of the biggest airlines Garuda Indonesia suffered decline across the late 1990's and 2000's, which culminated in Flight 200, which crashed during landing. This led to all Indonesian airlines being banned off of EU airspace. Fortunately, Garuda managed to clean up their act and introduced sweeping overhauls and reforms that revitalized it as an airline, and the ban was eventually lifted.

    A Venezuelan airline being banned from operating in or over the EU is not as odd as it sounds at first, if you consider that the ban automatically extends to the European Overseas Countries and Territories, and that these include Bonaire and Curaçao located off the Venezuelan coast (Aruba being the closest at about 27 km/17 miles from Venezuela). Prior to the ban Avior was actually operating flights to both Aruba and Curaçao.
    Similarly, Suriname-based Blue Wings operates some types which can reach several airports in European Overseas Countries and Territories out of their home base at Paramaribo, these being Aruba, Bonaire, Curaçao, Sint-Eustatius, Saint Barthélemy, Saba and Sint Maarten (all within range of their singular Cessna 406 Caravan II; and all but Aruba in range of their Cessna 208 Caravan).

    Russian Airlines register their aircraft in Bermuda to avoid paying the high taxes set by the Russian Government on non Russian built aircraft.

      And the reason many were registered in Ireland is simply that... Ireland owns a majority of all commercial aircraft in the world. Or, rather, the companies who own the majority are based in Ireland (more than 75% of the 20 largest leasing companies in the world are HQ'd in Ireland and about a quarter of them are home grown Irish companies). Ireland's a natural hub for aviation - closest part of Europe to North America, low taxes, neutral, lots of local expertise etc. Europe's largest airline (RyanAir) is also Irish, though it doesn't do long haul flights so it's probably not familiar to anyone outside of the Europe and North Africa.

      Ireland has a number of large respected aircraft leasing companies like AerCap that actually do move the planes in and out of Ireland as their base. It's perfectly legitimate for them to be licensed and regulated from there.
      They've always shared responsibility for transatlantic planning, ATC and emergencies with the Newfoundland province in Canada.
      So they're a perfectly legitimate aviation hub. They do hand out weird shady tax breaks for tech firms but it doesn't really have anything to do with their aviation related efforts.

    Indonesia airline carriers(Garuda Indonesia, Lion Air, etc.) are banned from flying to the EU from 2008 to 2016 because the number of plane crashes are occured in Indonesia and failure of airline safety standards but eventually in 2018 all carriers are removed from EU blacklist

    In regards to airlines not flying to Europe, there are two reasons. One has already been mentioned by another poster (EU isn't limited to Europe, there are EU territories in Carribean, Africa and South America). The second is that just because an airline doesn't regularly fly to the EU doesn't mean they won't at some point decide to do so - it could be as simple as a charter flight. Hence the need to cover them with the ban.
    Another thing interesting to mention is that there is another list which is an annex to the first list (yay!). This is sort of "a positive list" which allows airlines to fly into EU even if they would otherwise be banned by the main list. An airline from "unsafe country" can get an exception provided they prove their operations are safe. At the present time, all such exceptions are granted for specific aircraft rather than airline as a whole. For example, Air Koryo (out of all airlines!) is allowed to fly their Tu-204 into the EU, even though North Korea is on the "bad list".

    About decision making in the European Commission, the name of the list was likely subject to what is known as an interservice consultation. This happens when the unit responsible for the relevant proposals consults a group of counterparts in other units or directorates (either via email, meeting, or several of both). I'd wager that at the request of the External Action Service, the name they settled on has the least possibility of causing any diplomatic disruptions. But this is pure speculation based on personal experience.

    Commercial air travel is considered one of the safest modes of transportation, with a current fatality risk so low that one would need to take a flight every day for over 25,000 years to have a fair shot at being in a fatal accident. However, there are still weak links in commercial air safety, such as the 128 airlines on the European Union's air safety list, which bans airlines from flying to, from, or over any EU member state. Most bans have more to do with the airlines' home countries than the airlines themselves, as international standards for government oversight set by the International Civil Aviation Authority (ICAO) are not met. These standards cover eight critical elements, including having a civil aviation authority, qualified staff of inspectors, pilot licensing systems, and a way for the government to identify and address safety issues at individual airlines. However, ICAO standards do not concern themselves with individual airlines' safety, but rather with ensuring that a country's airlines meet these standards. The majority of the airlines on the EU's safety list are banned due to their countries' failure to meet ICAO standards, while five airlines have records so concerning that they are banned specifically and exceptionally. These include Iran's Aseman Airlines, Venezuela's AV Airlines, Cameroon's Bluewing Airlines, and Air Zimbabwe.

    And still, flying with any of these airlines is probably safer than driving a car in the safest country in the world.

    Fun fact, Zorg and Hoop means Care and hoop, a little ironic name. Also I realize how amusing "Zorg en hoop" sounds to non-dutchies after hearing Sam butcher it ^^
