History

It is a former Iraqi Air Force auxiliary airfield consisting of a 10,000 feet (3.0 kilometres) runway and a small aircraft parking ramp. It was apparently abandoned after the 1991 Gulf War and was seized by U.S.-led Coalition forces during Operation Iraqi Freedom in March 2003.[citation needed]

Aerial imagery shows that the runway has been resurfaced; however, the airport has not yet registered with the International Air Transport Association (IATA) nor does it have aircraft on its parking ramp.[citation needed]
