THE AVIATION COMMUNITY HAS VOICED ITS OPINION. THANK YOU FOR YOUR VOTES!
This was not a voting with any outcome we knew we wanted. Both options have their advantages and challenges for us. But it was important for us to understand the real sentiments among active participants of the aviation market. Because for us these are the people who are called policy makers.
According to the results of two weeks of voting, the number of those who oppose the removal of articles from the https://blacklist.aero/ site turned out to be twice as high as those who would like the articles to be removed after the case itself is closed. Apparently, the fact that articles on BLACKLIST.AERO only appear on truly egregious cases of non-payment or fraud that outrage not only us, the Registry administration, but also more readers, plays a significant role here.
Well, the aviation community has spoken and BLACKLIST.AERO administration intends to follow the wishes of aviation market participants. We are also very grateful for the professional discussion and suggestions that were expressed in the comments to the voting.
We intend to follow the advice that received the most support and subsequently intend to mark all articles where cases have been successfully resolved with SETTLED AND CLOSED. As with the cases themselves, this will be done 90 days after the CASE HAS BEEN RESOLVED notification from a claimant is received.
On behalf of the BLACKLIST.AERO team, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to everyone who participated in the voting and expressed their opinion. Together with you we are the driving force that really changes the situation with debts and fraud in aviation for the better!

When a loved one requires urgent medical evacuation, families are often forced to act fast — emotionally and financially. In July 2024, one such family contracted EMS Air Ambulance & Medical Repatriation Ltd, a UK-based company offering bedside-to-bedside repatriation. What followed was not just a logistical failure — it was a masterclass in how carefully drafted contracts can trap vulnerable clients and make recovery of funds nearly impossible.
Another subsidiary of Avia Solutions Group—the Slovak ACMI operator AirExplore—will soon cease to exist as an independent company. BLACKLIST.AERO was informed of this by a source within the company.
Global Aviation Register of Defaulter companies BLACKLIST.AERO is now an officially registered trademark across the countries of the European Union. This week, the European Union Intellectual Property Office finally issued our long-awaited certificate!
The year 2025 turned out to be one of the most difficult for aviation as a whole. One can talk endlessly about the heavy legacy of the post-COVID era, which manifested itself in a global disruption of supply chains and, as a consequence, a shortage of new aircraft and spare parts, delays in maintenance, and so on. Added to this were geopolitical risks—at times it seems the whole world wants to fight more than to create. We are living through a turning point, where the old world order has already been completely destroyed, while the new one has not yet taken on any clear shape. Aviation, in this process, is a litmus test reflecting all of these dynamics.
