This is a list of airports in Afghanistan, grouped by type and sorted by location.
Afghanistan has three international airports which is expected to increase to five by the end of 2014. The Kabul International Airport serves the population of Kabul and the surounding areas, Kandahar International Airport serves the southern parts of the country and Herat International Airport serves the population of western Afghanistan.
The Mazar-i-Sharif Airport is being expanded to become international and will serve the population of northern Afghanistan. In addition, once the Ghazni International Airport is completed it will serve the population of the Ghazni and the eastern parts of the country.
There are also about 16 regional domestic airports which are spread over the country in various provinces, which serve the smaller more remote areas. Some of these airports have gravelled airside facilities and operate under visual flight rules.

Famous quotes containing the words list of and/or list:
“My list of things I never pictured myself saying when I pictured myself as a parent has grown over the years.”
—Polly Berrien Berends (20th century)
“We saw the machinery where murderers are now executed. Seven have been executed. The plan is better than the old one. It is quietly done. Only a few, at the most about thirty or forty, can witness [an execution]. It excites nobody outside of the list permitted to attend. I think the time for capital punishment has passed. I would abolish it. But while it lasts this is the best mode.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
