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 suspended services to restart.

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

The exemption allows Iraqi Airways to move ahead with plans to restore its Iran services. The announcement did not specify which routes would return or how frequently flights would operate.

While October was identified as the month for resumption, no exact date was provided. The scope and terms of the special exemption were also not detailed.
