Ariana Afghan Airlines is planning to launch direct flight from Kabul to London’s Heathrow Airport next year. The Telegraph reported that the national carrier, currently on the EU’s aviation blacklist, hopes to resume flights to Heathrow for the first time since the early 1990s.
The airline’s President & CEO, Captain Moin Khan Wardak, told The Telegraph the airline hoped to fly direct to Heathrow from next spring.
“God willing, we will be flying to Heathrow,” he said. “If not Heathrow, then Gatwick.”
In June, Ariana will take delivery of two Airbus 310-300 aircraft bought from Turkish Airlines.
