Baghdad International Airport / New Al Muthana Air Base lies in the temperate mid-latitudes at 33.26° N, 44.23° E, on Asia/Baghdad time (UTC+3).
Baghdad International Airport / New Al Muthana Air Base has 2 runways. The longest, 15L/33R, measures 13,124 ft by 197 ft, which puts the field in the full-length intercontinental category: a fully loaded Boeing 777 or Airbus A350 can depart for the far side of the world. The surface is concrete. 1 of the 2 carry runway lighting.
Runway 15L/33R is aligned roughly south-east/north-west, which is the clearest hint you get about the prevailing wind here: runways are built to face the wind that blows most often, because aircraft take off and land into it. Every runway here shares that south-east/north-west alignment, so a strong crosswind means a crosswind landing rather than a switch to another strip.
The runways are not interchangeable. 15R/33L is 10,830 ft against 15L/33R's 13,124 ft, a difference of 2,294 ft, so the shorter one generally takes regional traffic while the longer handles anything heavy.
