An Ariana Afghan Airlines plane was seen arriving at the airport on September 5, 2021, the day after the state-run airline resumed some flights between Kabul and Herat in the west, Kandahar in the south and a city in Afghanistan’s northern Balkh province. A team of Qatari and Turkish technicians arrived in Kabul last week to help restart operations at the airport, which the UN says is crucial to providing the country with humanitarian assistance, but the terminal reportedly still did not have functioning radar or navigation systems when flights resumed. The airport had been closed since August 31, the end of a mass evacuation that marked the withdrawal of the last US forces from Afghanistan.
