Normalization: SpiceJet Announces Delhi to Kabul Flight
2012-08-16
[Tolo News] India's low fare airline Spicejet has announced expansion of its activities by offering flights from its capital city, Delhi, to the Afghan capital, Kabul.

SpiceJet is one of the largest Indian private airline companies to offer flights three times a week to Afghanistan.

A number of private airline company officials in Afghanistan have expressed concern
...meaning the brow was mildly wrinkled, the eyebrows drawn slightly together, and a thoughtful expression assumed, not that anything was actually done or indeed that any thought was actually expended...
s over the low fare competition that foreign airlines offer and the effect the competition has on national airlines.

However,
Switzerland makes more than cheese...
Afghanistan's Transport and Aviation Ministry is optimistic about SpiceJet's new venture into Afghanistan.
,
The Afghan Minister of Transport and Aviation Daoud Ali Najafi has said that "this is a free market and national airlines should improve services if they would like to compete with international companies."

Other than SpiceJet, there are seven other foreign airline companies that offer flights to Afghanistan.
