Qala i Naw Airport (IATA: LQN, ICAO: OAQN) is a small airport serving the city of Qala i Naw in Badghis Province, Afghanistan.[3] It is also known as Qala Nau Airport.[4] It previously had scheduled services with the now defunct Pamir Airways.[5] This airport is unique in the fact that the runway was originally a highway utilized when there was no air traffic. The runway lies adjacent to the site of a former Spanish forward operating base (FOB), now transferred to the Afghan government. The airport is mainly used for military purposes, including by the Afghan Air Force (AAF). Qala e Naw Airport is located next to Qala i Naw Airport.[6]
