Karbala Northeast Airport, also known as "Imam Hussein International Airport", is a regional airport under development in the Karbala Governorate of Iraq. It is located to the northeast of the city of Karbala.
History It is a former Iraqi Air Force auxiliary airfield consisting of a runway and a small aircraft parking ramp. It was apparently abandoned after the 1991 Gulf War and was seized by U.S.-led Coalition forces during Operation Iraqi Freedom in March 2003.
Aerial imagery shows that the runway has been resurfaced; however, the airport has not yet registered with the International Air Transport Association (IATA) nor does it have aircraft on its parking ramp.
