Etihad Airways Starts Flights to Afghanistan
The Ministry of Transport and Civil Aviation announced that Etihad Airways has begun flights to Afghanistan for the first time.
The ministry stated that the airline's inaugural flight took place on Friday, Pisces 29th. This marks the start of direct services between Kabul and Abu Dhabi.
Sources indicated that Etihad Airways will operate four flights per week to Afghanistan.
The development follows an announcement last February by officials of the United Arab Emirates-based airline. They had stated plans to launch direct Kabul-Abu Dhabi flights in the last days of March.
The Ministry of Transport and Civil Aviation shared the update confirming the commencement of these operations, highlighting the airline's entry into the Afghan market after years without such direct connectivity from Etihad.
