Safi Airways Co. (Pashto: صافي هوايي شرکت; Persian: خطوط هوایی صافی)[3] was the first and largest privately owned airline in Afghanistan.
The airline had its headquarters in Shahr-e-Naw, Kabul, Afghanistan, and an administrative office in the Dubai Airport Free Zone.
The Afghan authorities ordered suspension of its operations in September 2016, after the airline failed to clear outstanding debt and taxes.
This service was however suspended on 24 November 2010 due to an EU ban barring all Afghan carriers from flying into Europe[4] and did since never resume.
On 5 November 2009, Safi Airways took delivery of a pre-owned Airbus A340-300, which was phased out after suspension of the Frankfurt route due to the EU ban.
