Location

Jalibah, Iraq

Jalibah Southeast Air Base is a military airfield located in southern Iraq, near the city of Jalibah in Dhi Qar Governorate. It served as an Iraqi Air Force installation during the Cold War era and played a role in regional military operations. The base gained international attention during the 1991 Gulf War, when it was used by Iraqi forces and subsequently targeted by Coalition air strikes. Following the 2003 invasion of Iraq, the facility was captured and utilized by U.S.-led Coalition forces during military operations in the region. The airfield is not open to commercial traffic and has no scheduled passenger services. Its current operational status is limited, and it remains a largely inactive military installation.
