Qayyarah West Airport — Qayyarah, Iraq

Qayyarah West Airport (RQW) is an airfield located near Qayyarah, south of Mosul in Iraq's Nineveh Governorate. Historically constructed for military purposes, the airfield has been used at various times to support coalition and military logistics operations in the region rather than functioning as a civilian commercial airport. RQW does not offer scheduled passenger service, and its operations have been shaped largely by the security and reconstruction needs of the surrounding area following periods of regional conflict. Infrastructure at the site reflects its military origins, including runway capacity suited to transport and logistics aircraft. Civilian air travelers in the region typically rely on other airports, such as Mosul or Erbil, for commercial flights.
