Lufthansa to Iraq

LUFTHANSA has confirmed that it is examining the possibility of launching several new services to Iraq and is currently planning to serve the capital, Baghdad, and the city of Erbil in Northern Iraq via Frankfurt and Munich.  Lufthansa aims to launch the new services in the summer of 2010, once it has obtained the necessary traffic rights.  Further infrastructure requirements are also being examined.  Lufthansa operated flights to Baghdad from 1956 until the start of the Gulf War in 1990.  Erbil is already served from Vienna by Austrian Airlines, which is part of the Lufthansa Group.  Also see Viking to Iraq in this issue. www.lufthansa.com
