Ariana Afghan Airlines has announced a reduction in tariffs for its Kabul to Delhi route, starting November 16. The airline aims to enhance trade and logistical activities by lowering export and import tariffs on commercial goods, following directives from the Afghan government. Currently operating three flights weekly, the airline expects to increase this to seven to meet rising demand, supported by government subsidy measures, including a 90% reduction in service fees.
In addition to tariff adjustments, the airline is in discussions with international partners in Turkey, the UAE, Uzbekistan, and Hong Kong to acquire two passenger aircraft and a freighter. These acquisitions are part of wider plans to expand the airline's operational capacity and improve its fleet for both passenger and cargo services.
Strategic Developments
