KABUL, Feb 20: A total of 27 airfields, including five international airports, are operational in Afghanistan, Imamudin Ahmadi, spokesperson for the country’s Ministry of Transport and Civil Aviation, said.
“Currently, 27 operational airports exist in the country, and five of them are international airports,” the local television channel Tolonews quoted Ahmadi on Tuesday as saying.
