It is located between the cities of Najaf and Karbala, about {{convert|20|mile|km|abbr=on}} to the southeast of Karbala. It was expected to be Iraq's largest airport upon completion, and to receive an inaugural flight in July 2018,[2] but has been affected by corruption.[3] History and descriptionThe foundation stone of Karbala International Airport was laid by Shaikh Abdul-Mahdi al-Karbala'i, a representative of Grand Ayatollah Ali as-Sistani, and Chief Cleric of Imam Husayn Holy Shrine, in January 2017. It is being constructed by the United Kingdom's Copperchase Ltd.,[2][3][4] and designed by the French ADBI Company. At {{convert|4.5|km|mile|abbr=in}}, the airport's runway is the longest of its kind in Iraq. According to Al-Karbala'i, it was not meant to compete with other airports, but only to serve pilgrims going to the Mosques of Imam Husayn and Abbas.[2][5][6] See also
