A direct flight route linking Afghanistan and China resumed on Wednesday, following three years of suspension due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The flights between the Afghan capital Kabul and the northwestern Chinese city of Urumqi were operated by Afghan flag carrier Ariana Afghan Airlines. The airline relaunched its passenger air services to Urumqi, capital of northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, once in a week on Wednesday and return to Kabul on the same day.
