Iraqi Airways to Resume Iran Flights in October Under Special Exemption

Iraqi Airways is preparing to resume flights to Iran in October after receiving a special exemption, paving the way for the restoration of the suspended service.

The airline had halted the flights in line with US sanctions restricting the provision of services to Iranian airlines.

The exemption allows Iraqi Airways to move ahead with plans to restart the route despite those restrictions. The terms of the exemption were not detailed in the announcement.

October was given as the planned month for the resumption, but no exact date, flight schedule or destinations within Iran were specified.
