Erbil International Aiport IATA: EBL ICAO: ORER

Hi,

Greetings from Iraq. I live in Erbil/Arbil and was a bit surprised to see it's not in the game. Can you add it?


I am shamelessly copying from Wikipedia...

A new Turkish built, $US550 million airport was opened on 3 March 2010. The new airport is next to the old airport (previously a military field) and has one of the world's longest runways, 4,800 m × 75 m (15,748 ft × 246 ft) and is equipped for ILS CAT II operations.[1] The airport's new terminal has duty-free shops and currency exchange offices.[3] The terminal also has CIP areas for business jets, and there is a VIP terminal for visiting dignitaries and diplomats.[2] for a purpose of achieving the international airport standards [4]

In 2010 Erbil International Airport had the least expensive aviation fuel in Iraq (at 83 US cents per litre).[5]

I have attached the current destinations/airlines so you get an idea of the traffic levels. Just over 1.5 passengers in 2014 although it may have gone done during 15/16 given the presence of IS in the region. Although now things are picking up again. If the oil price improves the economy will also grow with it....
