Iraqi Airways has announced the resumption of direct flights from Baghdad to Beijing, following a break of several years.
The first flight departed from Baghdad International Airport (BIAP) to Beijing Daxing International Airport on Saturday.
Engineer Manaf Abdul Munim, General Manager of Iraqi Airways, said the revival of this crucial route between Iraq and China, the second of its kind after Guangzhou, is a significant step that will enhance bilateral cooperation.
He added that the scheduled flights for this route will operate twice weekly, departing from Iraq on Saturdays and Tuesdays, and returning from Beijing on Sundays and Wednesdays.
The flights will use a Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft.
