Ghazni Airport (prs| فرودگاه غزنی;) is located in Ghazni, Afghanistan, next to the main Ghazni-Kandahar Highway.[4] It serves the population of Ghazni and other nearby Afghan provinces. The airport is mainly used for civilian flights and is still being developed as of late 2013.[5]
It was formerly a military airfield until the Afghan government recently decided to turn it into an international airport. It currently has one runway designated 15/33 with a length of 1000feet.
The government plans to add two runways in the near future. The overall project is expected to be completed in 2014.[6] The first phase of the project was inaugurated in late December 2013 after a smaller private aircraft landed at the runway of Ghazni Airport.[5]
