History

Baghdad International Airport is Iraq's largest airport, located in a suburb about 10 miles west of Baghdad.

Pre-1991 Baghdad International Airport was constructed with the assistance of French firms between 1979 and 1982. It was designed to accommodate both civil and military operations, and can handle up to 7.5 million passengers per year in aircraft It is the hub for Iraq 's international airline, Iraqi Airways, and it was once served by several other international airlines.

1991-2003 Most of Baghdad 's civil operations stopped in 1991, when the United Nations imposed restrictions on Iraq after the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait during the Persian Gulf War. Due to the no-fly zone imposed on Iraq by the United States and the United Kingdom , Iraqi Airways was only able to continue domestic flights for limited periods.

Internationally, Baghdad was only able to receive occasional charter flights carrying medicine, aid workers, and government officials. 2003- Current status June 2003.
