Iraqi Airways to Resume Direct Flights to Iran on Thursday

Iraqi Airways is preparing to resume direct flights to Iran next Thursday, following a suspension linked to U.S. sanctions on Iran’s aviation sector.

The planned restart will restore the airline’s direct air service between Iraq and Iran. The flights had been suspended in accordance with the sanctions.

No details were provided about the Iranian destinations to be served or the frequency of flights under the resumed operation.

The announcement also did not explain the arrangements allowing services to restart while addressing the sanctions that prompted the suspension.
