Qatar Airways inaugurated its flights to Iraq. The 
Doha-based airline will operate four non-stop flights-a-week on the route – the first of two new Iraqi services being launched within two weeks. Effective June 7th, the airline will start flights to Baghdad, also operating four-times-a-week.
Both Erbil and Baghdad services are being operated with an Airbus A320 in a two-class configuration of 12 seats in Business Class and 132 in Economy.
Qatar Airways chief executive officer Akbar Al Baker said: “Iraq has long been underserved due to the political and economic difficulties the country has faced over the years, but Iraq is undergoing reform, opening up to rapid infrastructure improvements and improved air access in an area for so long depleted by sufficient number of flights.”
“With the changes taking place, there are a growing number of opportunities across the country prompting more international air travel,” he added.
