Feb 13, 2006 (newstodate): Now dominated by the NATO forces in Afghanistan, Kabul Airport is planned to become increasingly a civilian airport again.
NATO is currently building new facilities for military use north of the runway, and when projects are completed in 2007, the current facilities will return to civilian use.
Military traffic now accounts for 40 of the airport's average of 130 daily operations.
The airport has a single 3,000 metres runway, and there are no plans for further runways.
When ongoing demining of the area is completed within a few weeks, work will start to construct new civilian infrastructure facilities including aircraft parking stands, a new taxiway, and airport buildings.
Afghanistan and NATO are also training new own ATC operators as well as MET and other operations staff.
