AFRAA Secretary General Nick Fadugba said the "ultimate beneficiaries" of the list are "European airlines which dominate the African skies to the disadvantage of African carriers." The organization pointed out that "the majority" of African airlines banned from the EU "have never operated scheduled flights to Europe, do not plan to do so and have no aircraft with the range to fly to any EU state." It added that the list contains "many airlines that only exist on paper and are not operational." Rather than improving EU airspace safety, the list serves unfairly to undermine confidence in African airlines generally, AFRAA asserted.
