"There are six airports in Iraq: Sulaimaniya and Erbil airports run by the Kurdish government; Mosul, Baghdad and Basra airports run by the Ministry of Transport through the civil aviation authority; and Najaf airport. In general, there are no problems in the management of the first five airports, but the problem is with the Najaf airport" so the article does mention the kurdistan airports, and does also mention that they are not under government jurisdiction, and also that there's no problem with them... also the article speaks about the inefficiency of iraq's newest airport which is built and run by a private firm (najaf airport).

Completely separate from Iraq's National Government. So in a way, yes, they are not under the jurisdiction of Iraq's transport ministry, and for all intents and purposes can be considered airports in neighbourng countries. as stated in the article, the afformentioned airports are under the control of the Kurdish Regional Government.
