The airport of the capital of Iraqi Kurdistan, Erbil International has a 4,800-metre runway, one of the longest in the region, and VIP areas for delegations and business jets. The Divan Erbil is only about ten minutes away by car.
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 the Kurdistan Region (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.
British travellers can apply for a Kurdistan Region e-visa or obtain a visa on arrival, valid only in the Kurdistan Region. A federal Iraqi visa is also accepted there.
