Kabul, July 26 (Newswire): Residents of Ghazni will soon have access to an airport in their province. Nangyalai Qalatwal, spokesman of the Ministry of Transport and Aviation, said that the construction work at Ghazni Airport is in its completion stage, and within one year the runway and other parts of the airfield will be fully operational.
Funding for the airfield's construction was allocated from the "development budget" of the Ministry of Transport and Aviation. This year's allocation for the airfield's runway and security installations was in the sum of roughly two million USD. However, the Ministry is prepared to devote more funds to the project after this year if need be.
According to reports, officials at the Ministry of Transport and Aviation terminated the original contract for constructing the Ghazni airport after the first construction company failed to finish the job within the stipulated timeline. Reportedly, officials from the Ministry were also unsatisfied with the overall professionalism of the first company contracted for the project.
Following the termination of the first, a second contract was signed with a new company, a company the Ministry noted as being an Afghan one, nearly two and half a month ago.
Ghazni Airport is supposed to be one of the biggest construction projects in Afghanistan this year.
