Afghan airline denies plane crash reports
Ariana Afghan Airlines’ acting CEO Mirwais Mirzakwal on Monday denied reports by Afghan officials that one of its planes had crashed.
“There has been an airline crash but it does not belong to Ariana because the two flights managed by Ariana today from Herat to Kabul and Herat to Delhi are safe,” Mirzakwal told Reuters.
Earlier, local officials said that a Boeing 737-400 belonging to Ariana Afghan Airlines had crashed in Afghanistan’s Ghazni province.
The plane reportedly carried more than 80 people.
