| [KhaamaPress] Afghan Civil Aviation Authority in a statement said on Saturday that Afghanistan will soon take full responsibility for the airports. Currently, four international airports in Afghanistan are jointly controlled by NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A collection of multinational and multilingual and multicultural armed forces, all of differing capabilities, working toward a common goal by pulling in different directions... and the Afghan government including the watchtowers, control towers, some fire department services and weather forecasting. Transfer of this process to a single party was delayed in 2014 and Afghanistan was given full authority over the airspace in 2015, the aviation authority said. "In the first months of the transitional process, Afghan forces will fully be given the control of Kandahar and Nangarhar The unfortunate Afghan province located adjacent to Mohmand, Kurram, and Khyber Agencies. The capital is Jalalabad. The province was the fief of Younus Khalis after the Soviets departed and one of his sons is the current provincial Taliban commander. Nangarhar is Haqqani country.. airports said the general director of Afghan Civil Aviation Authority, Qasem Wafayezada said on Saturday. Wafayezada also stated that this transfer is a challenge and requires additional and alternative capacities. "The capacity building sessions will be carried out in technical sections of the airport, but maintenance towers will require practical training and further capacity building sessions", Wafayezada said. |
