So many people who tried to flee Pakistan’s wholly owned subsidiary, but now are stuck. [ToloNews] A number of people seeking to travel to Pakistain said on Monday that the price of tickets for Pakistain has greatly increased. According to the travelers, a one-way ticket to Pakistain is around $2,400. Ahmad Shafi and his son, who have visas for Pakistain, have gone shop-to-shop in Kabul to find cheaper tickets for travel to Pakistain. He said he cannot afford to pay the ticket price, which has never been this high. Shafi said: "I had bought a ticket from Kam Air for $1,200, but now the price has risen to $2,500. People have to buy tickets." In the meantime, a number of travel agencies in Kabul said Pakistain ticket prices have increased many times in recent weeks. In the past, a round-trip ticket was around $300, while now a one-way ticket is being sold from $1,200 to $2,400. Meanwhile, ...back at the wrecked scow, a single surviver held tightly to the smashed prow... officials from Kam Air Airlines said the airline has not had any flights to Pakistain for the past three days. Mohammad Dawood Sharifi, CEO of Kam Air, said Pakistain wants the airline to send lists of its passengers to Pakistain's ministry of interior affairs before embarking. According to Sharifi, although the airline sent the list they have not received permission to fly to Pakistain. "Since Friday, the interior ministry (of Pakistain) has started a new procedure. In addition to visas, the ministry asks for a security check. But it did not execute the clearance on time," said Sharifi. At the same time, the Civil Aviation Authority of Afghanistan said that right now only one Pak airline has permission to fly between Afghanistan and Pakistain, adding that this is also a reason for the rise of ticket prices. The civil aviation authority has warned that if Pakistain does not give permission to Afghan airlines, it will not allow Pak airline flights to Afghanistan. |
