As per the Khaama News report, the technical teams from Qatar and Turkey are working alongside Afghan engineers to help with the repair works at the airport.
"The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan asked Qatar and Turkey to send their experts and help them in repairing the airport which was made ready for domestic flights in three days but international flights are yet to take off and land from the airport," said the report.
