Imad Ahmed, deputy prime minister of the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG), told Rudaw, “We are planning to establish a civil aviation agency in Kurdistan and organize the Erbil and Sulaimani airports within that.”
KRG’s minister of transportation and communication, Johnson Siyawash, said the Iraqi government is trying to politicize civil aviation law the same way they did oil and gas and other outstanding disputes between Erbil and Baghdad.
Siyawash believes that when the KRG establishes its own civil aviation agency “it will get rid of many of the problems.”
“We will not accept any provision related to Iraqi aviation law that will violate Kurdistan’s rights,” he added.
Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri Maliki has said on a number of occasions that central authorities do not know what is happening in Kurdistan’s airports.
“Maliki says he doesn’t know how the airports here work, what planes land or fly out,” said Fayiq. “But because everything is in their control and the situation is tense, I cannot answer him.”
