AÉROPORT DE KABOUL (KAIA)

Kabul Airport is both the civil and military airport. The traveller will not be surprised to see, landing, all the helicopters and military aircraft on the tarmac. This is a way of getting into the Afghan bath upon arrival. The airport is called KAIA (Kabul International Airport). This acronym was preferred to KIA, which, in English, means «almendra in action», that is, «death in combat». There are several stalls outside the international terminal and a restaurant on the first floor of the domestic flights terminal (Kabul International Airport Restaurant: +93 700 277 796)

Kabul Airport serves Dubai, Bahrain, Abu Dhabi, Istanbul, New Delhi, Dushanbe, Almaty, Urumqi, Baku, Moscow and Frankfurt for international lines. The interior lines link the capital to several large and medium-sized cities in the country, including Mazar-e-Sharif, Hérât and Kandahar. Schedules and days served vary fairly frequently, so it is better to get information before planning travel.

It should be noted that all Afghan airlines are on the official blacklist of the European Union. You have to borrow them (or not) knowing the facts… Delays, sometimes for several hours, are extremely frequent. It is not uncommon to see his flight cancelled.
