Transportation and parking

Transport to and from Erbil International Airport should be arranged in advance by your hotel or business contacts, as security is still extremely tight in the region. Public transport is very limited and somewhat sporadic, so the most practical and reliable method of travelling to the airport is either using a hire car, a shuttle service (provided by some major hotels), or by pre-arranged taxis. Parking at the airport is limited, although this is set to improve in the future as the airport grows in importance as a commercial hub for the region.

Arriving at the airport

Passengers flying from Erbil with Qatar Airways depart from the main building’s Departure lounge. There are VIP and CIP lounges available in the terminal for VIPs, dignitaries and First Class passengers. Be aware that security in this part of Iraq is exceptionally tight and thorough.
