It serves much of the population of northern Afghanistan. In 2013, a sixty million euro terminal was added to the airport while the older terminal is now used for domestic flights. Though originally constructed with 2 parallel runways, the airport's northernmost runway has since been converted into a taxiway, making it one of the largest airports in Afghanistan. The Mazar-i-Sharif rail terminal is located to the east of the airport, which is connected to the Hairatan border town in the north. The Ministry of Defense also has a military base adjacent to the airport. Other nearby airports include Kunduz Airport in Kunduz Province to the east; Kabul International Airport in Kabul Province...
