LASHKAR GAH, Afghanistan (Reuters) - The first civilian plane for almost 30 years landed on Wednesday at a newly refurbished airfield in a remote corner of Afghanistan's restive southern Helmand province.The United States spent $11.5 million reconditioning the Bost airfield, built in 1957, which officials hope will help regenerate a province, a third of which is estimated to be under Taliban control and whose economy is dependent on opium.Helmand used to produce some of the region's best dried fruits, pomegranates and nuts.

But farmers have switched to opium production, a crop that helps fund the Taliban insurgency.The airport and a nearby agricultural and industrial park are part of a larger counter-narcotics strategy to get farmers to switch from growing opium by providing them facilities to process and fly-out food products to the domestic market."I live in Kabul in the U.S. embassy and I look forward to the day now that I won't have to spend five hours getting into helicopters to get to Helmand and I can catch a direct flight," United States Ambassador to Afghanistan Karl Eikenberry told journalists at the opening of Bost air field near Lashkar Gah."I'm hoping I can get a discount on the tickets," he quipped.The first domestic passenger plane to land will be an Ariana Afghan flight on Monday, according to manager Hajji Omar."It is one of the most important projects in Helmand ... like good roads, good runways like this are crucial to growth of the province and investment here," Helmand governor Gulab Mangal told Reuters.Near the airfield a British-funded agriculture center and industrial park, expected to create some 2,500 jobs, is under construction.Access to Bost and the park could be problematic for Helmandis because of insecurity. Road travelers are often attacked by Taliban and bandits and the virulent insurgency in recent years has hamstrung foreign forces."It's easy to think you shouldn't do any of these things until you've won the security battle You won't win the security battle ... unless you're putting together a coherent program of security, development and economic progress," British Ambassador to Afghanistan Mark Sedwill said."We're all very clear that security is the first building block for dealing with the insurgency. It's not for territory, it's for the hearts and minds of the people. You only win the hearts and minds of the people if you deliver civilian benefits."(Reporting by Golnar Motevalli; Editing by Paul Tait).
