Erbil airport to be opened officially TuesdayFriday, March 25th 2011 1:53 PM

Erbil, March 25 (AKnews)- An informed source from Erbil International Airport

said the airport will be officially opened Tuesday.

Massoud Barzani Kurdistan Region’s President as well as Turkish Prime Minister

Recep Tayyip Erdogan will attend the inauguration ceremony, the source

said.

Erdogan is expected to visit Iraq next week. He is also expected to meet

Kurdish officials in Erbil, the capital of the semi-autonomous region, northern

Iraq.

The airport opened mid 2005. But in 2010 it was renovated to accommodate new

technologies. Its runway is the longest in the Middle East and the fifth on the

world level, after China, Russia, South Africa and the U.S. respectively.

The airport, designed by a British company and constructed by a Turkish

company over 27,000 square meters, can operate 150 flights per day.
