Overview of Iraq Overflight Permit Requirements

All flights operating through the Baghdad FIR are required to obtain an official Iraq overflight permit before entering Iraqi airspace. This regulation applies to all business jet operations—private, corporate, charter, and non-scheduled flights. Due to the controlled nature of the airspace, accurate documentation and compliance with Iraq CAA rules are essential for smooth and uninterrupted overflight operations.
