Ariana Afghan Airlines was established in January 1955. An American commercial pilot relocated several war-surplus Dakota Aircraft to Afghanistan which he had been operating as a private air service in India after the end of World War ll. Prior to that there had been no air service for passengers within Afghanistan, even though the Royal Afghan Air Force had been in existence for some years. The utility of air travel was soon recognized by the Afghan Government, and the airline was incorporated more formally as "Ariana Afghan Airlines".
A considerable number of nationals were trained for specialized airline professions, such as dispatchers, communicators, engineers, flight attendants, logistics, flight
Flights of Ariana
Ariana started operations with only domestic routes. In 1971 the internal routes were taken over by a government owned domestic airline. That service was eventually reintegrated once again with the national carrier more than a decade later. By the peak period of operations at the end of the 70s, Ariana's Boeing fleet flew internationally twice a week to Istanbul, Frankfurt, London, Paris, and Amsterdam, and thrice weekly to New Delhi, Lahore and Amritsar. In addition to this regular schedule, each year Ariana served large numbers of Afghans on their way to Mecca in Saudi Arabia for the annual Hajj Pilgrimage.
