Taliban Claim Increase in Overflights in Afghanistan
The Taliban’s Ministry of Transportation said that the overflights in Afghan airspace have increased, and 100 aircraft pass through the Afghan airspace in 24 hours. However, according to flightradar24, except for a few domestic flights no aircraft is visible in Afghan airspace.
The spokesperson of the Ministry of Transport and Aviation of the Taliban said that overflights in Afghanistan have increased after the Taliban signed a contract for air traffic control of Afghanistan airspace with United Arab Emirates (UAE) firm GAAC Holding.
The group had announced that with GAAC Holding in charge, the provision of flight services at Afghanistan's airports will increase.
This is while, according to reports, after the fall of the previous government, foreign flights to Afghanistan as well as the overflights through Afghanistan’s airspace have decreased drastically.
