But normal commercial services have yet to resume since it was closed in the wake of the chaotic evacuation of tens of thousands of foreigners and vulnerable Afghans that followed the Taliban\u2019s seizure of the capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The airport, which was damaged during the evacuation, has since been reopened with the assistance of technical teams from Qatar and Turkey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>See also: <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/en\/2021\/09\/south-african-airways-resumes-flights.html\"><em>South African Airways resumes flights.<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While some airlines including Pakistan International Airlines have been offering limited services and some people have been able to get places on flights, prices have been reported to be many times higher than normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Foreign ministry spokesman Abdul Qahar Balkhi said the suspension of international flights had left many Afghans stranded abroad and also prevented people from travelling for work or study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs the problems at Kabul International Airport have been resolved and the airport is fully operational for domestic and international flights, the IEA assures all airlines of its full cooperation,\u201d he said, using an abbreviation for Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, the Taliban\u2019s term for their new government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since taking power, the Taliban have grappled with a severe economic crisis and have faced pressure on issues ranging from girls\u2019 education to allegations of reprisals against former officials and others associated with the previous government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Photo: UR-SDV\/<a
