Musallam said: “We are glad to have connected Afghanistan with Bahrain and beyond.”Our Kabul service is great news not only for the business community in Afghanistan but also for the vast Afghan community living and working in the GCC, the Levant region, Europe, India, Pakistan and Bangladesh.”At the same time, we also foresee a huge opportunity for Bahrain’s private sector businesses in Afghanistan, as there are several multi-million development projects going on in the country. We are confident that our service to Kabul will be as successful as our recently launched routes.” With four flights per week, Kabul will be served by an Airbus A320 aircraft offering 16 Falcon Gold seats and 120 Economy class seats.
