Lufthansa launches Iraq flights
16 January 2010Lufthansa has become the first major European carrier in 20 years to launch a service to Baghdad.
The German carrier said it was planning to fly to the Iraqi capital and Erbil in the north from Frankfurt and Munich this summer due to high demand and security issues within the country easing.
Lufthansa first started flying to Baghdad in 1956 but halted operation in 1990 because of the Gulf War, when U.S.-led forces reversed Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait.
