Ariana Afghan Airlines

==1955–present==
Ariana Afghan Airlines was founded in January 1955 as the flag carrier of the then Kingdom of Afghanistan in central Asia. It started out with a number of American Dakota aircrafts transferred from private use in India.
The airline's logo was designed by the King of Afghanistan himself, M. Zahir Shah, representing an Afghan swallow bird on a field of blue representing lapis lazuli stones, which are found in the country. The logo has since always been retained for the airline in spite of numerous political changes since the seventies.https://www.flyariana.com/Corp/history
