Injanah Air Base is a former Iraqi Air Force base in the Diyala Governorate of Iraq. It was captured by U.S.-led Coalition forces during Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003.

History

[edit]

In January 1991, Injanah Air Base was reported to be disused.[1] The facility was an auxiliary airfield, consisting of a 10,000-foot runway and a small aircraft parking ramp.

The runway has been subjected to excavations by Coalition personnel and thus made unserviceable. The facility is now abandoned and being reclaimed by the desert.
