New Delhi: Budget carrier SpiceJet has from Friday cancelled its flights
to Kabul due to a spate of attacks at the airport in the Afghan capital
city. The Kabul airport faced a rocket attack on July 3 when a SpiceJet
aircraft was taxiing to take off for Delhi and then the airport was
again in the line of fire on Thursday.
"In view of the security situation in Kabul and its airport, SpiceJet has decided to temporarily suspend our Kabul flights until the situation improves... we have decided to take this step as the safety of our passengers and crew is of paramount importance to us. We will offer passengers a full refund and will also try to request other airlines that operate to Kabul to accommodate them if they still desire to travel," a SpiceJet statement said.
On July 3, over 100 passengers were on the Delhi-bound plane when the rocket was fired.
