The Kirkuk International Airport (IATA: KIK, ICAO: ORKK) is an airport located in Kirkuk, Iraq. The airport officially opened in 20th October, 2022 for civil visitors.[2][3]

Since 2003, the airport was used by the U.S. Air Force as a military airport. It was returned to the Iraqi Army in November 2011.[4] In 2012, the Iraqi Transportation Ministry decided to move the military section to another location, a prerequisite for turning the air base into a civilian airport.[5] According to the (Nazaha) committee, the government allocated 93.5 million dollars from the airport project.[6][7]
