Shafaq News- Kirkuk
Kirkuk International Airport will launch nighttime flight operations starting May 23, 2026, weeks after international flights resumed at the facility following a prolonged suspension.
Airport spokesperson Hardi al-Salhi told Shafaq News on Saturday that the move represents “a qualitative shift” in the facility’s operational capacity.
On May 1, Kirkuk International Airport restarted international flights after a suspension lasting more than two months due to aviation risks linked to the US-Israeli war on Iran.
