Turkish Airlines (THY) will launch flights to Baghdad on Oct. 26, 17 years after it ceased flights on this route at the start of the First Gulf War.
The carrier will offer three flights a week on the İstanbul-Baghdad route. THY, in addition to its goal to draw Iraqis to İstanbul for tourism and business, aims to make İstanbul a transit hub for Iraqis traveling to European countries.
The flights will depart from İstanbul at 12:30 p.m. every Monday, Thursday and Saturday, arriving in the Iraqi capital at 4:15 p.m. The return flights from Baghdad will be on the same days at 5:45 p.m.
