Duhok international airport project started in 2012 and is currently under construction

Construction

2012 Opening ceremony

The Lebanese company Dar al-Handasa had started to build the company in the summer of 2012. At the end of February 2012 the airport facilities would have been completed. Another South Korea company, Incon, had been given the assignment to set up the structure of the airport. This was initially ordered to be done in May 2012 so that the airport could start to operate.[1]

Duhok International Airport (DIA) would be the third international airport in the Kurdistan region of Iraq, the other two being Erbil International Airport and Sulaimaniyah International Airport. It will cover an area of 1,500 ha (3,700 acres) and will include 18 check-in desks. The project costs US$450 million and is going to handle approximately one million passengers for the first year upon service.[2]

The project was delayed due to a number of regional crises. As of 2022, it is still under construction.[3]
