Farah Airport was also used for military purposes in the past by theUnited States Armed Forces, theInternational Security Assistance Force (ISAF), and the oldAfghan Air Force (AAF).[6] It was renovated and expanded in the 2010s.

Under a 10-year agreement signed in 2022, Afghanistan's airspace and several of its airports were handed over to theUnited Arab Emirates firm GAAC Holding.[7]

After the Taliban's conquest of Afghanistan in August 2021, all commercial flights were halted at Farah Airport. There has been a push since 2023 to re-establish flights to Kabul.[8] It is known the airport has taken flights from theRed Crescent aid organization and has airport security.[9]
