Afghanistan route opens

KABUL now has international scheduled air links to Europe.  Last week local carrier Safi Airways (IATA code 4Q) launched twice weekly flights to Frankfurt.  The privately-owned airline is using Boeing 767-200 ER jets with a two-class configuration – 18 business and 196 economy seats – on the route and actively promoting its 10 metric tonnes of cargo capacity.  Safi says that in the coming weeks it will link to Amadeus and other global reservation systems.  The airline already flies to Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Frankfurt, Kuwait and Sharjah plus domestic points using a pair of Boeing 737-300s.  Safi is based in Dubai. www.safiairways.aero
