Iraqi Airways plans to restart flights to Iran in October after obtaining a special exemption, according to the country’s Transport Ministry, following US sanctions that had restricted services to Iranian airlines.
– According to state Iraqi News Agency, Iraqi Airways had already resumed flights between Najaf and Iranian airports on Monday
– Addressing earlier disruptions, the Iraqi ambassador to Iran, Yasser Abdul-Zahra Al-Hajjaj, told INA “the government had not issued any decision to halt flights with Iran; rather, foreign ground-handling companies had refrained from providing services due to fears of US sanctions”.
