Erbil International Airport

Erbil International Airport (EBL/ORER) is a civil passenger and cargo airport administered by the Kurdistan Regional Government in Erbil, Iraq.

The current airport includes a passenger terminal, separate VIP terminal and cargo terminal. Its official technical information gives the airport reference point as 36°14′17″N, 43°56′48″E and describes a runway measuring 4,800 × 75 m.
