Iraq Airports

With the assistance of international organizations, IAP is planning to reconstruct all existing airports and to select and operate some as international airports, maintenance facilities, aviation clubs, aircraft manufacturers, etc., all in an effort to promote the aviation industry in Iraq. Ultimately, we plan for Iraq to become a major aviation hub for the Middle East. Below is a list of airports under consideration.

Major air bases are located at Al Sahra, Al Taqaddum, Amara New, Baghdad/Muthenna, Balad Southeast, Irbil, Injanah, Jalibah, Karbale Northeast, Kirkuk, Mosul, Najaf, Qayyarah, Rasheed, Safwan, Salman Pak, Salum, Samarra East, Shaibah, Shayka Mazhar, Sabakhu, Tallil, and Ubaydah Bin al Jarrah. There are two major international airports in Iraq, one in Baghdad and another in Basrah. In addition, there are 73 other airports of varying sizes scattered around the country.
