Kabul International Airport

Kabul International Airport suffered for over 20 years from military action in wars and civil strife, as well as from neglect and lack of maintenance. As a result, much of its infrastructure, buildings, installations and equipment have been either destroyed, deteriorated or became outdated and unsuitable.

Kabul Airport relies at present, in many of its services and facilities, on equipment and personnel provided by the military users of the airport. This equipment will be replaced by new equipment and related buildings and installations. These include air traffic control and telecommunication installations, meteorological equipment and facilities, fire and rescue vehicles and station, standby power supply, airport maintenance equipment, etc.

The Ministry of Transport and Civil Aviation's plans for the development of Afghanistan's infrastructure and essential services include the rehabilitation of Kabul Airport to international standards. With this objective in mind, the International Community, and NATO-ISAF in particular, have been taking charge of Kabul Airport and assisting the Ministry of Transport and Civil Aviation in overseeing the implementation of necessary rehabilitation and upgrading works to attain international standards, prior to handing it over to the Afghan authorities.
