Iraqi Airways to London?

IRAQI AIRWAYS, which claims to be the oldest airline in the Middle East, has posted on its website a brief note that it intends shortly to introduce flights to London.  It has reportedly struck a deal with the aviation authorities in Britain over the resumption of direct flights between Baghdad and the United Kingdom.  The national carrier's fleet was grounded during the first Gulf War in 1990, but it was able to resume flights to Arab countries after the fall of Saddam Hussein.  A new fleet of Boeing aircraft has been ordered and currently the carrier operates a mixed collection of various Boeing 737 aircraft.  The airline has offices in London’s Piccadilly. www.iraqiairways.co.uk
