"But they can conduct visual flight rules (VFR) visual approaches. Prior permission is required prior to arrival for humanitarian, military, etc."

So are you trying to give the impression that they can open the airport for normal Commercial Flights in violation of certain other International standards for Commercial flights? I don't think so.

Your "cut-and-paste" does not address that issue, does it?

I never claimed that "visual approach" is not what they are using now. Rather that the condition of the air traffic control system is not up to international standards for Commercial Flights. Is visual approach without an operating civilian air traffic control system up to standards? This discussion is just getting ridiculous.

Point being is airport is not open for Commercial Flights, period.
