Iraq's main airport, Baghdad International lies about 16 km west of the centre. Private flights have a separate VIP terminal, and its 4,000 and 3,300-metre runways handle every aircraft.
Every private or charter flight needs a permit from the civil aviation authority, together with a parking slot. Allow a few working days if possible: we prepare the file.
The UK Foreign Office advises against all but essential travel to Baghdad province (advice of 22/07/2026) and EASA recommends that European operators do not operate in Iraqi airspace until 16/11/2026. Every trip is assessed case by case, with authorised operators.
An e-visa is required, applied for online before departure; there is no longer a tourist visa on arrival. Passports must be valid for at least six months.
