Turkish Airlines Resumes Afghanistan Flights After 3-Year Hiatus

Turkish Airlines Expands U.S Network to 20 Destinations

In a significant development for air travel connectivity, Turkish Airlines has reinstated its flights to Kabul International Airport, marking the revival of crucial links to Afghanistan’s capital.

This resumption comes nearly three years after the carrier’s services were suspended following the collapse of the Western-backed government. Renowned as “the airline that flies to more countries than any other in the world,” Turkish Airlines boasts an impressive network spanning 346 destinations across 130 countries, encompassing all six continents.

With its reputation for extensive global reach, the airline’s return to Kabul underscores the restoration of vital air transport connections to the region. Commencing operations on May 21, 2024, Turkish Airlines now offers regular flights to Kabul, providing a lifeline for travelers seeking to access and depart from the Afghan capital.

The strategic scheduling of flights, occurring four times weekly on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays, ensures a reliable and accessible service for passengers. Furthermore, travelers can avail themselves of competitive round-trip fares starting from 805 USD for flights between Istanbul and Kabul, inclusive of taxes and fees.

With flights now available for booking since April 26, 2024, passengers have the opportunity to seize the convenience and accessibility offered by Turkish Airlines’ renewed services to Kabul.
