GAAC to Uplift Afghanistan’s Airports to the Modern Era

 


UAE-based Holding signed the third and final contract with the Taliban administration to operate the three major airports in Afghanistan and made significant investments in their infrastructure. GAAC is now looking to modernize and upgrade Afghanistan’s airports.

Afghanistan’s aviation sector has faced many challenges in recent years. The country’s airports were severely damaged and many international airlines suspended their flights to and from Afghanistan. GAAC Holding stepped in to restore the airport’s functionality and safety. The company made an urgent investment of USD 641,000 in equipment, facility management, food for airport staff, ground support equipment and technology.

The investment included repairing the runway lights, installing generators, providing x-ray machines, metal detectors and explosive trace detectors, setting up a temporary terminal building, supplying food and water for airport workers, and procuring trolleys, tow tractors, loaders and buses. GAAC Holding also trained and employed more than 500 local staff to operate the airport.

GAAC Holding provides a range of aviation services, including ground handling, premium services, aviation security, and air navigation services. The company has been operating in Afghanistan since November 2020, when it was awarded a contract to provide ground handling and premium services at three international airports: Kabul, Kandahar, and Herat. The contract also included aviation security services at these airports, as well as Mazar-e-Sharif.
