It may be at the beginning of its inception, Karbala airport specialist transport of passengers only and no cargo side, which will make its staff is not large and does not exceed the 500, either if the favoritism of the recruitment process, the number of employees has risen to 2000.

Even that number, according to alkarbaty, it is very little compared to a surplus of labour in as conservative and demand for jobs, especially the airport operator is not obliged to run conservative cousins or other.

In any case, the establishment of the airport will benefit all economic activities linked to the tourism sector in the province and the country in General, as alkarbaty asserts, and reflected a positive project too, to collect taxes for the State if the Government was able to organize file taxes appropriately, alluding to the need to resolve the tangles of Central and local tax systems which might make very few financial returns to local Government of Karbala.
