    Baghdad/Al-Masala: Baghdad International Airport is witnessing an increase in complaints from travelers about the deterioration of the level of services provided at the airport, as multiple reports indicate a decline in several service aspects, whether in terms of cleanliness, logistics services, or the ability to handle the increasing numbers of travelers. In addition to the infrastructure that suffers from neglect and poor maintenance, as well as the absence of the necessary development operations to make the airport competitive with its regional and international counterparts.
    Passengers using the airport have expressed their frustration with the deteriorating level of services and poor management of facilities, from flight delays to inadequate facilities and weak technology used to provide electronic services. This apparent lack of services places the airport in a low rank compared to regional and international airports that are witnessing continuous development.
    Internal criticism and calls for reform
    In this context, a member of the Parliamentary Transport and Communications Committee, Zuhair Al-Fatlawi, described the current situation as reflecting rampant corruption that hinders the development of the airport and Iraqi Airways, known as the “Green Bird.”
    Al-Fatlawi stressed that the current situation has “destroyed” the image of the company, which used to reach most international airports, including London’s Heathrow Airport. He added that the absence of a professional management capable of running the airport has contributed greatly to the increase in these problems.
    Al-Fatlawi also touched on the issue of catering on Iraqi Airways flights, describing it as one of the “corruption files” that negatively affected the company. The company responsible for the catering contract, “Baghdad Gate,” had its contract ended in January 2024, and it has been unable to prove its real presence, whether with an office or headquarters in Baghdad.
    He pointed out that this company uses the same airport facilities to prepare meals, which are offered at high prices for a “below-par” level of service.
    New management to try to improve the situation
    Dissatisfaction with the level of services prompted Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani to assign the Minister of Construction and Housing, Benkin Rikani, to manage the Iraqi Civil Aviation Authority, in an attempt to improve the situation and implement urgent reforms. This step came within the framework of the government’s efforts to restructure and develop the aviation sector, which is considered one of the vital sectors, and which can contribute significantly to strengthening Iraq’s position regionally and internationally.
    Experts and analysts opinion
    Some analysts believe that the situation at Baghdad International Airport reflects broader problems in the management of public facilities in the country, which require comprehensive development plans and greater involvement of the private sector to attract investment and improve services. On the other hand, some stress the need to hold accountable those responsible for this deterioration to ensure that mistakes are not repeated and to achieve a better competitive environment.
