Ariana Afghan Airlines

Ariana is the national airline of Afghanistan, based in Kabul. The airline operates domestic and international passenger services. It is wholly-owned by the Afghan government.

Ariana Afghan Airlines was established in January 1955. An American commercial pilot relocated several war-surplus Dakota Aircraft to Afghanistan which he had been operating as a private air service in India after the end of World War ll. Prior to that there had been no air service for passengers within Afghanistan, even though the Royal Afghan Air Force had been in existence for some years. The utility of air travel was soon recognized by the Afghan Government, and the airlines was incorporated more formally as "Ariana Afghan Airlines".

From 2002 the Ariana network has expanded from neighbouring nations to the Arab Gulf states, to India, Turkey and Europe. Plans are in process for more routes to meet the ever growing demand for flights to and from Kabul.
