Afghanistan: Afghan exports stalled by lack of air transit, ACCI

KABUL, 24 January 2022, (TON): Officials from the Afghanistan Chamber of Commerce and Investment (ACCI) said that currently flights via air corridors have been suspended and there are only cargo flights via air corridor to China.

According to ACCI officials “the suspension of flights via air corridors has created challenges in exporting merchants’ goods abroad. The officials said they have been trying to solve the problem, but have made no progress to date.”

ACCI’s deputy head Khairuddin Mayel said “ACCI had been trying to bring facilities and easiness, but so far, there is no progress.”

Before the collapse of the former government, Afghan goods used to be transported out of the country to world markets through air corridors from airports in four provinces: Kabul, Kandahar, Balkh and Herat.

Meanwhile, a number of traders urged the Islamic Emirate to solve the problem and facilitate the export of goods to world markets via air corridors.
