Aug 26, 2024 (newstodate): Global and regional conflicts and wars have created serious obstacles for airlines operating Europe-Asia/China flights - while also opening new ventures.
In today's environment, Afghanistan has thus become a viable option, even if its airspace is still uncontrolled and without a guarantee that crew and passenger can be safe in case of an unplanned landing at an Afghan airport.
According to the Afghan media TOLO News, the volume of flights through Afghan airspace has increased seven-fold in July, y-o-y, boosting the country's revenue from en-route nav charges.
-The resumption of flights can increase confidence in Afghanistan’s airspace and, on the other hand, boost the revenues earned from aviation. Additionally, Afghanistan can be seen as an alternative route to the Middle East, providing an opportunity for airlines that cannot pass through Middle Eastern airspace to benefit from this relatively advantageous route, says an Afghan aviation professional.
Turkish Airlines resumed flights from Istanbul to Kabul from May 21, 2024, and other airlines including Air Arabia, and Flydubai have also returned flights to Afghanistan.
