Sulaymaniyah airport director Taher Abdullah confirmed on Thursday that the airport administration is ready to cooperate with any team sent from Baghdad to supervise the airport.
“According to the recent decisions of the Iraqi cabinet, we are waiting for the arrival of a special team from Baghdad to supervise the airport,” Abdullah told Mawazin News. “Things can not stay the same.”
“The administration of Sulaymaniyah airport is ready to cooperate with any team that is sent by Baghdad to cooperate with him regarding the supervision of the airport,” he said.
The international air traffic stopped from the Kurdistan region and to it, on Friday night (September 29, 2017), after the central government imposed a ban in response to the region’s vote on the referendum on independence.
A day after the no-flight decision, Sulaymaniyah airport director Taher Abdullah told Mawazine News on Saturday (September 30, 2017) that the decision of the Baghdad government to stop the flights led to the suspension and paralyzing of traffic at the airport and caused great losses to companies.
