Baghdad International Airport (IATA: BGW, ICAO: ORBI) is the largest and busiest airport in Iraq, serving as the main air hub for the capital city of Baghdad. Originally known as Saddam International Airport, it was renamed after the 2003 US-led invasion and operates alongside the adjacent New Al Muthana Air Base, a military facility sharing the same airspace. The airport handles the majority of Iraq's international passenger traffic and serves as a hub for Iraqi Airways, the national carrier. It connects Baghdad to destinations across the Middle East, Europe, and Asia. The facility underwent significant reconstruction following damage sustained during the 2003 Iraq War and has been progressively expanded to meet growing demand. Despite periods of instability in the country, the airport has continued to function as a critical infrastructure asset, supporting both civilian and military operations. Security remains a significant operational consideration given the broader regional context.
