Kandahar Airport

Kandahar Airport (IATA: KDH), established in the 1960s and expanded during the early 21st century, is a dual-use military and civilian gateway serving southern Afghanistan with one main passenger terminal and extensive airfield facilities. As the largest airport in Kandahar province, it connects the region to Kabul and limited international routes, acting as a regional base for Afghan carriers such as Kam Air and Ariana when services operate and routinely handling military traffic. Located roughly 10 km from Kandahar city, travellers reach the airport by road taxis and shuttle services with limited public transport. Amenities are basic and local ground costs are generally affordable, though flights can be pricier due to limited competition.
