Baghdad, Iraq’s capital, lies on the banks of the Tigris and has been a centre of trade, learning and government for more than twelve centuries. Today private aviation into the city is driven mainly by government, diplomatic, energy and reconstruction work. Private jets use Baghdad International Airport, west of the city centre. Direct private flights connect Baghdad with Amman, Beirut, Dubai, Istanbul and Europe. Flights to Iraq require careful planning of permits, security and ground arrangements, which we coordinate in advance with experienced local handlers.
