TREE NEWS update: Iraq’s Ministry of Transport said on the 29th that Iraqi Airways has received a special exemption to resume flights between Najaf International Airport and Iran starting in October. The airline is now preparing for the restart and will begin operating from Najaf once the necessary organizational and technical requirements are met.
Iraq to Resume Najaf-Iran Flights in October, Airline Gets Special Exemption
AI take
The exemption signals Baghdad is willing to keep a politically sensitive aviation link open even as regional tensions persist, and it hands Iraqi Airways a route that carries significant religious-tourism demand. The practical effect hinges on the technical and organizational conditions the ministry attached, which leave the October start date conditional rather than fixed. Whether the exemption proves a one-off accommodation or the first step toward broader normalization of Iraq-Iran air links is the open question.
