The US Federal Aviation Administration has given several Caribbean states poor marks for monitoring aviation safety. These are Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, Montserrat, St Lucia, St. Vincent and The Grenadines, and St Kitts and Nevis. Only limited operations to the USA are permitted until improvements are made.
Countries whose carriers fly to the USA must ad- here to International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) safety guidelines. Nine countries which failed the FAA audit are barred from operating to the USA.
