KARACHI: Pakistan has allowed an Afghanistan airline to operate its flights from Islamabad to Kabul, a Civil Aviation Authority official said late on Sunday. Kam Air — Afghanistan’s largest private airline — will operate three flights a week, becoming the first Afghan airline to operate outside Afghanistan after the Taliban takeover, Irfan Sabir, director of CAA Air Transport, told Anadolu Agency. The permission, he said, has been granted at the request of Kam Air, which, until now, is the only Afghanistan airline to apply for the flight permit. Initially, he said, that the airline might only operate chartered flights from Islamabad to Kabul due to limited passengers. Pakistan International Airlines was the first airline to operate the first international flight to Afghanistan on September 13, after the Taliban takeover.
