Airport services
The airport is where an Iraq visit is won or lost. Somebody is either waiting with your name on a card, or you are alone in an arrivals hall.
What you receive
- A named greeter and a named driver, confirmed before the flight departs
- Flight tracking, so a delay changes the plan rather than ending it
- A single contact number that works from the moment the aircraft door opens
- Provider costs at cost, separated from the coordination fee
Arrival formalities in Iraq are manageable when somebody who does them every week is standing beside you, and considerably less manageable when they are not. The gap between those two experiences is about forty minutes and a great deal of goodwill.
We arrange the meet, the formalities, the baggage and the handover to the vehicle as one sequence with one person accountable for it, so that the visitor's first Iraqi hour is uneventful.

Common questions
Which airports do you cover?
Baghdad, Basra, Najaf and Kirkuk. Service levels differ by airport and by the hour, so we confirm what is available for your flight in writing.
Can you guarantee fast-track?
Availability of lounges, private terminals and fast-track differs by airport, terminal and day, so we confirm what is available for your specific flight in writing before you travel — rather than describing a general standard.
What happens if the flight is delayed?
The greeter and the driver work to the flight, which is tracked. A delay moves the plan; it does not cancel the booking.
