Kabul's airport will soon be ready for international flights as efforts are underway to remove technical problems, airport director Abdul Hadi Hamadani said Monday.
"The domestic flights have already begun and the international flights would begin soon and efforts are underway to remove the remaining 10 to 15 percent technical problems at the airport," Hamadani was quoted as saying by local media.
He made the remarks after a Pakistan International Airlines plane landed at and took off from the airport in Afghanistan’s capital on Monday.
Many facilities at the airport were destroyed during the withdrawal of the last U.S.-led forces and American nationals on August 31, according to the official.
Hamadani also confirmed that the airport has received planes carrying humanitarian assistance from Qatar, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and Pakistan, adding that similar flights from Russia and Turkey are expected to arrive in the coming days.
