Military air base in northern Iraq's Saladin Governorate.

Location

Tuz Khurmatu, Iraq

Tuz Khurmatu Air Base is a military airfield located near the town of Tuz Khurmatu in the Saladin Governorate of northern Iraq. The base has historically served Iraqi military aviation purposes and has been a strategically significant location given the area's complex ethnic and political landscape, which includes Arab, Kurdish, and Turkmen communities. The base gained renewed attention during and after the conflict against the Islamic State (ISIS), as Tuz Khurmatu was a contested area between Iraqi federal forces and Kurdish Peshmerga. Control of the airfield and surrounding territory has shifted during various periods of instability in the region. Tuz Khurmatu Air Base does not operate commercial passenger services and has no IATA code assigned. It remains a military installation with restricted access and limited publicly available operational details.
