Thales has been awarded a contract to supply one ILS/DME and all related services for Najaf Al-Ashraf International Airport in Najaf.

The city of Najaf, situated in southern Iraq is the site of the Imam Ali Shrine and is an important religious destination, playing host to millions of pilgrims each year. Najaf Al-Ashraf airport has therefore been experiencing significant traffic growth in recent years, with many international airlines like Gulf Air and Turkish Airlines running regular services. 

The contract signed between Thales and Najaf Al-Ashraf Airport Authority is part of the country’s continuing efforts to modernize current navigation and surveillance capabilities, ensuring a significant improvement of safety and efficiency.
