No concrete deal yet for management of Kabul international airport

The Taliban took control of the Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul, only to find it in complete chaos and disarray.

Acknowledging the problem at hand, the Taliban sought assistance from countries across the world to manage the Kabul airport and save Afghanistan’s sinking economy and has conducted several rounds of discussions and negotiations with the Qatari officials.

According to Mohammad Naeem Wardak, Taliban Political Office spokesman in Doha, the two sides were not able to agree on various aspects regarding the management of the airport among other sectors.

Furthermore, Qatari companies did not receive approval from the Emirates Authority for Standardization and Metrology to operate the airport’s management. The Civil Aviation Security Administration could not ensure that the Qatari officials would be able to manage the airport without posing any danger to the safety and security of air traffic.
