EU blacklists six Kazakhstan airlines in blow to Borat boom
Sacha Baron Cohen upset the Kazakh authorities when he arrived as Borat to host the 2006 MTV music awards in Lisbon in a rickety "Air Kazakh" plane flown by a vodka-clutching one-eyed pilot. Kazakhstan didn't see the funny side and threatened to sue the comedian for the stunt.

Kazakhstan will also not be amused by the EU's decision today to add six of the country's airlines to an EU blacklist. It means the following Kazakh carriers will be banned from EU airspace: Air Company Kokshetau, ATMA airlines, Berkut Air, East Wing, Sayat Air and Starline KZ.
