BERLIN: German airline Lufthansa today said it was no longer offering regular flights to Kazakhstan’s largest city, Almaty, as the Central Asian country faces its worst unrest in over a decade.
“Due to further developments, Lufthansa has now decided not to offer any more regular flights to Almaty until further notice,” a spokesperson for the company told Reuters.
Almaty’s airport was reportedly overrun by anti-government protesters yesterday, forcing flights to be canceled, before it was later retaken by government security forces. — Reuters
