Kam Air (RQ, Kabul) has acquired a B737-500 that it had been leasing from Ukrainian Wings (UWJ, Kyiv Boryspil), ch-aviation research has revealed. UR-BAA (msn 28052) was transferred to the Afghan register as YA-KMS earlier this month.

Flightradar24 ADS-B data shows the 20-year-old Boeing twinjet is currently deployed on Kam Air flights connecting Kabul with Kandahar, Herat, and Mazar i Sharif locally and Istanbul Atatürk, Mashad, Almaty International, Ankara Esenboga, Dushanbe, and Tashkent International regionally.

Kam Air also operates one A340-300, one B737-500, one B767-200 (inactive), two MD-83s (one of which is inactive), and two MD-87s (one of which is inactive). No known wet-leased aircraft are currently in the airline's employ following the events on the January 20 attack on the Intercontinental Hotel in Kabul in which five Taliban gunmen shot dead 42 people, including nine Kam Air crew members, seven of whom were Ukrainian while two were Venezuelan.
