Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, found itself at the center of a transportation collapse: on Monday, September 29, all flights from the international airport were canceled. The reason was a total internet shutdown across the country, which effectively paralyzed the airport’s operations.
Airport staff encountered this problem without any prior notification, leading to confusion and delays. Among the canceled flights were important international routes: an Ariana Afghan Airlines flight to Dubai, scheduled for 18:00, and a Kam Air flight to Istanbul, which was supposed to depart at 20:00.
Information about the complete disappearance of internet connection in Afghanistan was confirmed on September 29 by international monitoring services. This incident raised serious questions about the stability of the country’s communication infrastructure.
