Afghanistan’s first ever aircraft repair workshop to be built in Kandahar

KABUL: (MEP) – A major aircraft maintenance workshop would be established at the Kandahar International Airport.

According to Pajhwok Afghan News (PAN), the decision was taken at a meeting attended by Governor Toryalai Weesa, airport chief Ahmadullah Faizi and representatives of Canada-based SkyLink and Afghan Jet International Airlines.

The workshop would provide modern-era services to the airport and prevent the need for sending airplanes abroad for repairs and maintenance.

Meanwhile, Afghan Jet International Airlines head Syed Salman Sadat informed that his company would open a branch in Kandahar City.

The source adds that FlyDubai Airlines would begin UAE-Kandahar flights in near future. Similarly, a Turkish company has agreed to operate Istanbul-Kandahar flights.
