Baghdad International airport(ICAO code :ORBS), also called BIAP, is Iraq's main airport,located in a suburb about 16 km west of downtown Baghdad. It is the home base for Iraq's national airline, Iraqi Airways
The airport was constructed from1979 to 1982. Then-Iraqi President Saddam Hussein authorized the airport's construction and had it named after himself. Designed to accommodate both civil and military operations, Baghdad International can handle up to 7.5 million passengers per year in aircraft of all sizes. The passenger terminal consists of three gate areas. These were originally named after the cities of the ancient empires that once existed in present-day Iraq: Babylon, Samarra and Nineveh. They are now simply called A, B and C. During the Gulf war and further, the Invasion of Iraq, the activity of the airport has been reduced and most of commercial flights have been stopped. In the same time, the name of the airport was changed to Baghdad International Airport and this former regional hub became an important US Air Force Base in Iraq, for the US army. Since a few years, Iraqi Airways has resumed many flights while many foreign carriers increasingly open new routes.
