IMPROVEMENTS are to be made to Kabul international airport, Afghanistan, with a US$19.3 million World Bank credit. The funds will finance reconstruction of its runway and upgrade water and sanitation services. The money - part of an Emergency Transport Rehabilitation Project - will also improve air traffic control services, providing the airport with equipment to support safe air travel, such as communications and air traffic control networks identified as necessary by the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO).
