Airport guide

Sulaymaniyah International Airport (ORSU) is a medium airport in Sulaymaniyah, Iraq. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code ORSU or IATA code ISU. It sits in Asia.

Sulaymaniyah International Airport is a regional commercial airport that doubles as a busy private-aviation base. Operators benefit from full instrument approaches and an FBO infrastructure scaled for regular jet traffic, often without the congestion of the nearest major hub.

Sulaymaniyah International Airport lies at 2,494 ft elevation.

Local operations run on Asia/Baghdad. Scheduled airline service is light enough that it rarely interferes with charter movements, though planners should still expect to coordinate with the handling agent for international turnarounds.
