FAA says Kabul airport now uncontrolled as US military exits

The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said in a notice on Monday that Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul is now without air traffic control services as the US military completed its exit from Afghanistan.

Earlier this month, the US military said it had assumed air traffic control responsibilities in Kabul to facilitate the evacuation of tens of thousands of people from Afghanistan. The FAA notice said Monday that aircraft landing at Kabul or operating in Afghanistan airspace should use "extreme caution."
