Qatar Airways has resumed service to Erbil and Sulaymaniyah, two important Iraqi destinations.
The airline previously suspended service to both routes in November 2017, per the Iraqi Civil Aviation Authority’s directive to all international carriers at the time.
The airline now operates seven weekly flights to each destination.
From May, the airline will further boost its service to Erbil with double daily flights
Qatar Airways Group chief executive, Akbar Al Baker, said: “Erbil and Sulaymaniyah have always been two important destinations in the Republic of Iraq, in addition to Baghdad, the capital city, as well as Najaf and Basra.
“With an abundance of history to unearth at each location, we are pleased to be relaunching our award-winning service to both of these destinations, offering our passengers yet again a multitude of choice within Iraq.”
Qatar Airways operates an Airbus A320 aircraft to both Erbil and Sulaymaniyah, which features 12 seats in business and 132 seats in economy Class.
Qatar Airways serves five destinations in the Republic of Iraq.
The airline first began flights to Erbil in 2012, followed by the capital Baghdad, Najaf, Basra and Sulaymaniyah.
