JUL 27, 2004 (newstodate): Iraq's Basra Airport will probably not be opened for commercial traffic before the end of the year, according to industry sources.
The Iraqi government had hoped to be able to start up operations at the airport from this summer already, but lack of qualified airport staff and equipment has now pushed back the launch date.
