ADPI wins a contract for a new airport in Iraq

As the region already receives over 12 million people during the main pilgrimage period, the ambition of the Iraqi authorities is to develop airport facilities up to international standards to receive tourists and pilgrims (around 6 million passengers per year in the first phase with the ultimate objective of handling 30 million passengers).

The ADPI contract covers the studies for:

• the selection of the site;

• the master plan including an airport city;

• the detailed studies for the first development phase that will include a passenger terminal, a control tower, the runways and taxiways infrastructure, car parks, the functional and administrative buildings, a mosque, and a meteorological centre.
