Turkish Airlines resumes flights to Kabul, Afghanistan

Turkish Airlines has announced the resumption of its flights to Afghanistan after a three-year hiatus.

The company stated in a press release that it will commence its flights to Kabul today, Tuesday, May 21.

According to the announcement, Turkish Airlines will operate four flights per week from Kabul to Istanbul.

Additionally, the state-controlled national television reported that the company conducted its first flight this morning from Turkey to Kabul.

Previously, Turkish Airlines had announced that it would operate four flights a week on Sundays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays between Kabul and Istanbul, and vice versa.

It’s worth noting that Turkish airlines, like several other countries, had suspended their operations after the resurgence of the Taliban in Afghanistan.

Previously, some foreign airlines including “Emirates” and “Flydubai” from the UAE, as well as airlines from Iran and Pakistan, had announced the commencement of their operations in Afghanistan.

Turkish Airlines was established in 1933 by the order of Kemal Mustafa Atatürk and was founded as part of the country’s Ministry of Defense. It operates flights to over 200 international airports worldwide.
