Ahmad Shah Baba International Airport (IATA code: KDH, ICAO code: OAKN), formerly known as Kandahar International Airport and by some military officials as Kandahar Airfield, is the second main international airport and one of the largest main operating bases in Afghanistan.
Located about 9 nautical miles (17 kilometers; 10 miles) south-east of the city Kandahar, this airport is capable of housing up to 250 aircraft of different sizes. It can be used for both military and civilian flights. The military section of the airport was maintained by the Afghan Air Force. The 2nd Wing of the Afghan Air Force (AAF) had a separate base within the airport ground. The Afghan National Police had provided security inside and outside the civilian terminal of the airport. The airport is now maintained by the Taliban.
