KABUL: Turkish Airlines will resume its flights to Kabul and Mazar-e-Sharif in Afghanistan in March, the air aviation said in a statement referring to is website, the other day.

country.

Also, the Fly Dubai Airlines is expected to resume flights to Afghanistan within a month, said the Ministry of Transportation and Civil Aviation (MoTCA).
Spokesman of the MoTCA, Imamuddin Ahmadi said that some other airlines are also expected to resume flights to Afghanistan as the new contracts have provided the airports with standard services.
“The private and commercial companies are resuming their flights, depending on the number of passengers,” said Imamuddin Ahmadi, a spokesman for the MoTCA.
Meanwhile, IEA announced earlier that they signed a contract with Abu Dhabi-based firm GAAC Solutions to provide flight services and manage planes landing and taking off at key airports in Afghanistan.
