The Ministry of Transport has developed a plan to develop the annual capacity of Baghdad International Airport, reaching nine million passengers, while it will soon operate its first flights between it and its counterpart in the Saudi capital.
The director of the ministry’s media office, Maitham Al-Safi, told Al-Sabah: “His ministry has prepared a study to develop Baghdad International Airport in cooperation with the ISD company, which included the available options, which are building a new airport, rehabilitating and expanding the existing one, or the hybrid option that combines the two options.”
He explained that his ministry chose the third option, which includes expanding and rehabilitating the current airport in addition to establishing a new one within its area, noting that the rehabilitation work will be in accordance with international specifications, which will increase its efficiency in receiving all flights, leading to raising its annual capacity to eight and nine million passengers. In a related context, Al-Safi announced that Iraqi Airways has completed all procedures to reactivate the (Baghdad-Riyadh) line, which has been suspended for 30 years, to operate the first flights between Baghdad and Riyadh in the coming period, noting that the Saudi side has pledged to overcome any obstacles facing the process of resuming flights between the two countries. Regarding the file of the suspended aircraft, he explained that his ministry has so far returned ten of them to work, and efforts are continuing to return five others by the end of 2024 at the latest, indicating that the ministry's plan prioritizes the development of the aviation sector and the expansion of new travel destinations towards cities and capitals of countries in the region and the world.
