“Aeroports de Paris Ingenierie (ADPi) has completed the design, which cost $42m. The Iraqi Ministry of Transportation will invite offers next month.”

In its first phase, the airport will have the capacity to serve six million passengers annually. The project will include the construction terminal buildings, a runway and aircraft gates.

The airport will be developed in three phases, with capacity increased to 12 million per year in phase II and 20 million once completed. It will be built on a site of 45,000 m2 at a cost of $3bn.
