Govt to Act on Afghan Airliner Still Grounded in Russia
An Afghan airliner from the state-owned Ariana Afghan Airlines has remained grounded in Russia for the last 16 days on charges of skipping a customs process in Sheremetyevo international airport in Moscow.
Sources told TOLOnews that based on Russia’s customs laws, airliners that leave Russia by skipping the customs process will face millions of dollars in fines.
A letter dated Feb. 7, 2021, sent by Afghanistan’s Civil Aviation Authority to the Federal Air Transport Agency of Russia, has asked that the issue regarding the Boeing 737 that operates for Ariana Afghan Airlines be addressed.
