BAGHDAD, Iraq: Marking the auspicious occasion of birth anniversary
of Commander of Faithful Al-Imam Ali b. Abi Talib (AS) on Rajab 13,
civilian flights will start this month at a former military airport in
the central Iraqi holy city of Najaf.
A statement quoting Najaf governor Assa'ad Abukelel said Al-Hamza
airfield will be inaugurated as a civilian airport on July 20.
"The runway has been successfully tested. The departure and arrival
terminals are also ready," he said. "We have also signed a contract
with a Kuwaiti company to operate the airport for a month when it will
train Iraqi staff in managing the facility."
The new airdrome named "Al-Imam Ali International Airport" is expected
to boost the number of pilgrims.
Millions of pilgrims flock every year to Najaf that houses the holy
shrine of Al-Imam Ali (AS).
