Afghanistan High Economic Council has awarded a license to a Turkish airline company to operate in the country

The High Economic Council led by President Ashraf Ghani has awarded a license to a Turkish airline company, Atlasglobal , to operate in Afghanistan.
The Turkish company has world-level credit and its presence in Afghanistan’s aviation market will help reduce flight costs and will create healthy competition among airline companies in the country. Two Turkish companies and two local airlines will have flights to Turkey. Established in 2001, Atlasglobal, known as Atlasjet until 31 March 2015, is a Turkish airline headquartered in Istanbul, which operates scheduled domestic and international passenger services as well as charter flights, mostly out of its base at Istanbul’s Atatürk Airport.
