Nineveh's al-Dakhil with Turkish Consul: Mosul Airport operations top agenda
The discussions, held in Mosul, included Turkish Consul General Serhad Varli, IGA officials, Iraq's Civil Aviation Authority, and Nineveh's advisory team, according to al-Dakhil's statement. He said IGA's offer is under review, citing its global reputation and potential to raise the airport's standards.
In turn, Varli reiterated Turkiye's support, framing IGA's involvement as a 'strategic boost' to regional infrastructure and bilateral ties.
Notably, the airport, central to Mosul's post-conflict recovery, has faced multiple delays. Its launch, scheduled to align with the anniversary of Mosul's fall to ISIS, is reportedly expected to restore international links and spur economic growth.
