rafidainscope - Members of Parliament representing the Najaf Governorate held an extensive press conference to discuss the repercussions of the decision to close Najaf International Airport and restrict several airlines from operating there.

The MPs demanded transparent and official clarifications regarding the real reasons behind the airport's closure and the restriction of its navigational activities. They emphasized that the issue cannot be treated as a fleeting administrative event due to its strategic, economic,

and service importance to the governorate, as well as its direct impact on visitor traffic and various economic sectors.

The parliamentary statement warned that continuing these measures would impose additional burdens on travelers and disrupt travel movement. The representatives stressed the necessity of addressing any technical, security, or administrative flaws within the proper legal frameworks, without harming the governorate's interests or disrupting this vital navigational facility.
