Fayzabad Airport (or Faizabad Airport) (IATA: FBD, ICAO: OAFZ) is an airport 3.5 miles northwest of the town of Faizabad. Built during the Soviet occupation, Fayzabad Airport is somewhat unique[clarification needed] in the world, notable for the runway being constructed of pierced steel planking (PSP or Marsden Matting) along its full width and length. A new runway made of more common materials is being constructed parallel to the steel runway as a replacement for the original unique strip.
