New Delhi, March 04: Citing safety reasons, Air India pilots have threatened not to operate to Kabul if the national carrier does not give “clear-cut guidelines” for flying to the trouble-torn country even as the airline CMD maintained that the airline was not flying to any unsafe zone.
Noting that the situation in Kabul was deteriorating which puts the life of the crew and passengers in “jeopardy”, the Indian Commercial Pilots Association (ICPA) has said if the pilots do not get any suitable reply, it would be “forced to ask our members not to operate flights in these unsafe conditions”.
Maintaining that the airline was not flying to any unsafe zone, Air India CMD Arvind Jadav, who is in Hyderabad for air show ‘India Aviation 2010’, told, “I don’t think, we are flying to any unsafe zone.”
