Kabul International Airport Afghanistan - KBL

Kabul International Airport in Afghanistan is located 16km (9 miles) from the center of Kabul. Before the airport has been closed for many years to international flights due to the conflict with the Taliban. Since the collapse of the Taliban regime due to the US intervention in 2001-2002, the airport of Kabul has been reopened for International Air Travel, at first only for International Aid assistance, but since some years also for civilian airlines. The airport is a complete chaos but is quite safe, taking in mind the very long queues at the immigration counter. Basic facilities are operating, such as a bank and money exchange service and a simple bar-restaurant. Taxis to the center of Kabul (travel time 30 minutes) are available outside the arrival terminal. The airport buildings are dirty filled with taxi touts and dozens of workless porters trying to grab your bags and suitcases. Avoid using the toilets in Kabul airport as they very dirty and not maintained. Accommodation available in Kabul hotels near the airport.
