Manchester to Bagdad

VIKING HELLAS AIRLINES, the Greek airline associated with Viking Airlines AB of Sweden, is to introduce a new three-times weekly scheduled service from Manchester to Athens from 1 February with onward connections to Baghdad, Erbil and Sulaymanyiah, three Iraqi cities.  These will be the only flights from the north west of England to Greece.  Viking Hellas has established agreements with Olympic Air and Aegean Airlines to provide convenient connections to their Athens flight networks.  This provides passengers with the opportunity to connect in Athens to and from other Greek cities, the Greek Islands, the eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East.  Viking says that with the large regional expatriate Iraqi community the Athens connection should prove ideal.  Viking Sweden has been flying to Iraq for a number of years. www.vikinghellas.com
