About Al Asad Air Base
Al Asad Air Base is a military airfield in Al Anbar Governorate, western Iraq, near the town of Al Baghdadi. It is one of Iraq's largest air bases and has long served as an important installation for Iraqi and coalition military operations rather than as a commercial passenger airport.
The base was built between 1981 and 1987 and was originally known as Qadisiyah Airbase before being renamed Al Asad. It features two long parallel runways and extensive military support infrastructure, with operational activity focused on military, government and chartered flights.
Located roughly 180 km west of Baghdad, the base sits in a remote desert area of Al Anbar Province. Road connections link the surrounding region to Baghdad, Ramadi, Hit and Haditha, and ground transport is typically arranged privately or through pre-booked services.
Because Al Asad is an active military installation, public passenger facilities and commercial airline operations are limited. Travelers and contractors generally coordinate access and onward transport in advance.
