The chief engineer of the imam Hussein Holy Shrine said that the capacity of the airport is more than 2 million persons, and the time to achieve the project is 18 months. ADBI French Company has completed the design of the airport; the runway will be the longest one among all the airports in Iraq.
The airport will also be a great asset for the economy of the holy city of Kerbala and other middle cities of Iraq where manpower is greatly employed.
