It is currently an air base used exclusively by members of the country's Ministry of Defense.^[1] Security in and around the airport is provided by the Afghan National Security Forces.

Qalat Airport is at an approximate elevation of 5,383 feet (1,641 m) above mean sea level. It has one gravel runway measuring around 5,047 by 98 feet (1,538 m × 30 m).
