Tall Afar Army Air Field

Tall Afar Army Air Field (ICAO: ORTF) is a military airfield located near the city of Tall Afar in the Nineveh Governorate of northwestern Iraq. The facility has historically served military operations in the region and is not open to commercial civilian air traffic. The airfield gained particular prominence during and after the 2003 invasion of Iraq, when coalition and Iraqi military forces used it to support operations in the Nineveh region. Tall Afar itself was the site of significant counterinsurgency operations, and the airfield played a logistical role during those campaigns. As a military installation, the airfield has no commercial terminal infrastructure, scheduled airline services, or public passenger facilities. Its operational status and current use by Iraqi security forces reflect the ongoing military significance of the Tall Afar area.
