Qala i Naw Airport
Qala i Naw Airport is an airport serving the city of Qala i Naw in Badghis Province, Afghanistan. It is also known as Qala Nau Airport. It has scheduled services with Pamir Airways. This airport is unique in the fact that the runway is actually a highway that is utilized when there is no air traffic. When aircraft arrive, Spanish soldiers close down the highway and it becomes a runway. The runway lies adjacent to a Spanish forward operating base (FOB).
