Qatar Airways launches in Iraq

Qatar Airways is taking its first steps into Iraq with the launch of a new flight to Irbil, which will be served four times a week.

The big names in business travel are entering - or relaunching - the Iraqi market. Irbil, for example, will soon see the group Starwood to make a comeback in Iraq in 2015, will welcome Qatar Airways' first service to the country. Four flights a week are now operated from the Doha hub. Baghdad will soon complete the airline's Iraqi offer from 9 June.
