Kam Air is Afghanistan's largest private airline, founded in 2003 and headquartered in Kabul. It operates domestic routes connecting major Afghan cities as well as international routes to destinations in the Middle East, South Asia, and Central Asia. The airline was established during Afghanistan's post-Taliban reconstruction period and quickly became a significant carrier in the region. It has navigated considerable operational challenges given Afghanistan's complex political and security environment over the years. Following the Taliban's return to power in August 2021, Kam Air faced severe disruptions to its operations, though it continued limited services under difficult circumstances, adapting to the changed political and economic landscape.
