Air Arabia resumes flights to Afghanistan following 2-year hiatus due to Taliban

The Taliban government in Afghanistan has resumed Air Arabia flights to Kabul's international airport, marking the return of air service after a two-year hiatus.

The Taliban government in Afghanistan on Wednesday confirmed the resumption of Air Arabia flights to Kabul’s international airport, two years after service stopped following the collapse of the Western-backed government.

Afghanistan’s Ministry of Transport and Civil Aviation said the first Air Arabia flight landed Wednesday.

In a post on X, the ministry said there will be one daily flight between Sharjah, United Arab Emirates, and Kabul.

In May, the Taliban signed a deal allowing an Emirati company to manage three airports in Afghanistan. Under the agreement, Abu Dhabi-based GAAC Solutions would manage the airports in Herat, Kabul and Kandahar.
