The European Commission yesterday announced that it intends to name and shame airlines that fail to meet basic safety requirements.

The proposal comes as investigators scrutinise the safety records of Cyprus's Helios Airways, following a crash near Athens on Sunday that killed all 121 passengers.

The Colombian government has also halted operations of West Caribbean Airways after the deaths of all 160 people aboard a plane which crashed in Venezuela on Tuesday ."
