The Taliban said on Saturday that operations at 27 civilian and military airports that were stopped after the fall of the Afghan regime led by Ashraf Ghani have restarted. "Most of these airports had no difficulties; only a few airports, such as Khwaja Rawash, Kandahar, and Khost, experienced problems," Latifullah Hakimi, the head of the military and civil regulatory body, was reported as saying by the media.

"We separated the five components into two parts, one military and the other civilian," Hakimi said, "since it is no longer essential, and here is one government, where there were before (multiple) governments."

According to Hakimi, three military airports are now operational: Bagram in Parwan, Shurab in Helmand, and Shindand Airport in Herat. "Services are provided normally from Afghanistan's airports, flights operate normally, especially from Kabul airport, foreign and domestic flights are taking place," said Imamuddin Ahmadi, spokesman for the Ministry of Transport and Civil Aviation. "Military flights from military airfields as well as parts of Kabul airport are being used for military, logistical, and other flights," he added.

Meanwhile, political analysts believe that resuming activity on the country's airfields, particularly military airfields, is critical for carrying out special military operations and providing support to civilians in emergency circumstances, according to Afghan media. "In the current circumstances,"  said Mohammad Qasem Wafayeezada, former chairman of the ACAA, "the first step that should be made today is to separate military and civilian activity in the airfields."

This comes as the Islamic Emirate, Turkey, and Qatar are negotiating in Doha over some parts of the operation of Afghan airports. They haven't come to a final agreement yet. On August 15, last year, the Taliban took control of Kabul, and the nation has since been hammered by mounting economic, humanitarian, and political crises.
