The Ministry of Transport has confirmed that the development plan for Baghdad International Airport is progressing, with 26 projects currently in the works. The announcement was made on Saturday by the Ministry’s spokesman, Maitham Al-Safi.
Al-Safi emphasized that the initiative, which began in mid-2024, is part of a broader effort to upgrade Iraq’s airports. The plan is being carried out under the direction of Minister of Transport, Razzaq Muhaibis Al-Saadawi, through the General Company for Airports and Air Navigation Management.
Baghdad International Airport is receiving a significant portion of the attention, with 26 ongoing projects focused on improving the airport’s infrastructure and services.
