Ariana Afghan Airlines officials claim they have lost about $1 million in 24 days after one of its aircraft was seized by Russian officials for reportedly violating international aviation regulations.
According to airline officials the Boeing 737 was impounded by Russian customs officials after allegedly taking off from an airport before clearance was given.
They said the matter has now been handed over to a Russian court.
The officials stated that they have requested help from various government departments to secure the return of their aircraft but nothing has yet been done.
They said they have called on the Foreign Ministry for help and the Finance Ministry and the Civil Aviation Authority.
