Qatar Airways' First Flight to Erbil; Baghdad to Follow

Sitting on fertile agricultural land, Erbil and its surrounding area are rich in natural resources. The region is known for its significant gas reserves, including oil, gold and other deposits. There are multi-billion dollar infrastructure projects well underway covering healthcare, housing, energy, agriculture and technology to help with restructuring efforts to pre-war levels.

Qatar Airways’ passengers flying to Iraq from destinations across the Gulf, Europe, Indian subcontinent, Asia Pacific and The Americas have excellent connections via the airline’s Doha hub.

Since the beginning of the year, Qatar Airways has launched flights to five destinations – Baku (Azerbaijan); Tbilisi (Georgia); Kigali (Rwanda); and Zagreb (Croatia) with many more planned during 2012 offering customers greater choice.

Over the next few months, Qatar Airways launches services to a diverse portfolio of new routes, including Perth, Australia (July 3); Kilimanjaro, Tanzania (July 25); Mombasa, Kenya (August 15); Yangon, Myanmar (October 3) and to the Serbian capital Belgrade during September.

Qatar Airways has seen rapid growth in just 15 years of operation, currently operating a modern fleet of 108 aircraft to 115 key business and leisure destinations across Europe, Middle East, Africa, Asia Pacific, North America and South America.
