The Director General of Iraqi Airways, Manaf Abdul-Moneim, announced the date for resuming direct flights between Iraq and Russia after their recent suspension, indicating that the first direct flight will be carried out on July 16.
Abdul-Moneim said in a statement received by Al-Rasheed, “The resumption of the direct flight line between Baghdad and Moscow came in line with the directives of the Minister of Transport, Razzaq Muhaibis Al-Saadawi, as it is one of the vital transport lines that serve the Iraqi community present on Russian territory.”
He added, “The number of flights has been set at two flights per week on Saturdays and Tuesdays as a first stage, with the opportunity to allocate additional flights after studying the volume of demand for the aforementioned sector.”
