The northern city of Mosul has inaugurated its newly restored airport, which has not operated since the ISIS takeover in 2014. The airport will feature a main terminal and a VIP lounge, functioning as a connection between Mosul and other Iraqi cities as well as regional destinations. Fully operational status for both domestic and international flights is expected within two months, following the foundation's stone-laying ceremony nearly three years ago. The airport had previously offered international flights, primarily to Turkiye and Jordan.
