When, after the fall of the Taliban, the Bonn Conference installed an interim government for Afghanistan, the government had one minister for Transport and one minister for Civil Aviation & Tourism. In 2004, when after the Presidential Election the newly elected President Hamid Karzai his cabinet formed, the post of minister for Civil Aviation & Tourism was abolished. The minister of Transport became responsible for Civil Aviation and the Minister of Information and culture became responsible for Tourism.
Under the Taliban, the ministry has outsourced operation of Afghanistan's airspace and airports to the United Arab Emirates firm GAAC Holding.[3]
