Afghanistan - 2 Afghan airlines to operate flights to Islamabad


(MENAFN- Pajhwok Afghan News) PESHAWAR (Pajhwok): Pakistan has allowed the Ariana Afghan airlines (AAA) and Kam Air (KA) to operate flights between Kabul and Islamabad, a media report said on Saturday.

In line with permission from the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), the airlines will operate return flights from Islamabad to Kabul. Ariana has been allowed to run two flights a week, while Kam Air can operate five flights.

Samaa TV reported the CAA had allowed the arrival and departure of 1,000 passengers from Afghanistan in a week.

Narrow-body aircraft will be allowed to land only at the Islamabad International Airport while wide-body Boeing 777 and Airbus 340 will resume operations after an agreement is reached between the two countries.

Afghanistan had sought permission from CAA for flight operations from Kabul, Mazar-i-Sharif and Kandahar to Karachi, the channel said.

“This permission is, however, subject to the signing of a MoU between Afghanistan and Pakistan. More than 1,500 passengers will benefit from the MoU, if signed.”
