Safi signs up for major interline agreements

 The “interline agreements” effective from February 2010 allow passengers travelling between Kabul and international destinations served by Safi's partners  to benefit from reduced lead time and also enjoy single fare tickets from all these network airlines which include the sector flown by Safi Airways.  

The co-operation with United Airlines will be of special interest for US citizens who have to comply to the fly America act. The day flights from Kabul to Frankfurt with Safi Airways onto the United Flights to major US cities with just 2 ½ hours connecting time are fulfilling the conditions of the fly America act.  

The interline tickets will be made available from 1^st February onwards and will pave the way of seamless travel to Afghanistan. Qatar Airways will offer fares via the new Safi route from Kabul to Doha, which will be launched on the 13^th of March with three weekly flights to the Qatar Airways hub. Daily flights will be introduced in this sector in late 2010.  

Mr. Rahim Safi, Chariman of Safi Airways said “We are proud of achieving our goal of placing Afghanistan on the global map through our esteemed partners in the GCC and internationally and also being part of the international aviation fraternity, thus being able to offer our customers local prowess through western standards. We are confident of achieving further partnerships with other esteemed partners in the near future.”  

Passengers will now require only one ticket to their destination which will result in substantial savings. Safi Airways will however not be code-sharing with its partner airlines’ which means that the Safi Flight Number will be valid throughout the passenger’s journey.
