Kandahar International Airport (Pashto: د کندهار نړيوال هوايي ډګر; referred to by ISAF as Kandahar Airfield, KAF) (IATA: KDH, ICAO: OAKN) is located 9 nautical miles (17 km; 10 mi) south-east of Kandahar City in Afghanistan. It serves as the nation's second main international airport and as one of the largest military bases, capable of housing up to 250 aircraft of all type.[3]
The airport was designed and built by the United States in the late 1950s. It was occupied by the Soviets during the 1980s Soviet war in Afghanistan. Following their withdrawal the airport remained in control of Najibullah's government until he stepped down in 1992. Thereafter, local warlords and the Taliban took control of the airport until the U.S.-led invasion in late 2001. It was also the site of the Indian Airlines Flight 814 incident in 1999.
Since 2007, the airport has been repaired and expanded.[3] It is used for both military and civilian flights. The airport is maintained by the Resolute Support Mission and the Afghan Air Force. The 2nd Wing of the Afghan Air Force (AAF) has a separate base within the airport ground. The Afghan National Police provides security inside the passenger terminal.response / report this review -

The food and weather were nothing to write home about. It was cooler than Helmand during the Summer, due to the relatively higher elevation. Daily rocket attacks were no fun. A dud nailed the TGIFridays aboard the boardwalk.
I watched a lot of basketball and volleyball games while I was relaxing with the Queens Royal Lancers. Interesting memories from 2010-2011 over there. ISAF era. Roshan was much better than Afghan Wireless.response / report this review -

I see a lot of negative comments and reviews here in regards to the Airport. However the airport's conditions might be, I love it because it's in my country.

In 2003-2004. I had visited this wonderful airfield/resort. The occasional sand storms did wonders with exfoliate effects to my skin. Plenty of opportunities to improve your tan if you can appreciate the farmers tan. The eateries were not so impressive. During my time there was 2 dining facilities. The larger of the 2 was generally open 4x a day form your dining and dancing needs. The resort also tried to offer a health spa/fishing excursions. Lake la-poo pond offers some of the finest mud baths and opportune fishing for brown trout in the area. During my stay there was a wide variety or guest entertainment ranging from NASCAR drivers, NFL cheerleaders, pro wrestlers, different musicians. To be honest all of which really didn't catch my interest due to the lack of service this resort has where I was forced to preform daily tasks during this vacation experience my recruiter had promised. I did however take the opportunity to see the late Robin Williams.
For your shopping experience there was very few options form this international resort. The main one offered some home like comfort where you could buy electronics and clothing. My biggest gripe was some employee that went by "lieutenant" insisted to buy up and the kid size tee shirts. The other shopping area was run by the locals who generally sold such high quality movies still found in theaters. These same locals are extremely friendly. They try To compeate to much with Disney however with their frequent fire works. Usually these were not impressive enough to pay attention to but the employees insisted we still stop and watch from our assigned seats.
This resort also offers a very impressive gym with lots to offer. Unfortunately this is also where the lieutenant was mostly hanging out at displaying his kids t shirts as if it was some trophy. We get it you bought all the damn kids shirts there is no reason to rub it in sir. During my visit the best place to recommend visiting Is the coffee shop great place to gamble your money away as you enjoy a coffee and even a biscotti. In my recommended its not a bad resort but get it in writing on how long of a visit you plan for. Our flight was canceled twice and forced to wait months for the next available flight.response / report this review -

This is the worst airport I have ever been to. They put everyone in a house styled hall and with many scary faces like a prison without cells. It is pretty scary for a foreigner waiting there for the flight. It is not recommended for women. Flights are confusing. And there is no one to request information on flight updates. Totally chaos.
