Qatar Airways Launches Baghdad Flights

Qatar Airways has launched flights to Baghdad, the capital of Iraq.

The Doha-based airline is operating four-flights-a-week non-stop on the Baghdad route.

Located on the banks of the Tigris River, Iraq’s capital is one of the largest cities in the Middle East.

The move comes just two weeks after Qatar Airways launched flights, also four-times-a-week, to the northern Iraqi city of Erbil.

Cargo traffic bound for Iraq also will see a boost when Qatar Airways launches a dedicated weekly freighter service to Erbil, effective 5 July 2012.

Both the Erbil and Baghdad passenger services are being operated with an Airbus A320 in a two-class configuration of 12 seats in Business Class and 132 in Economy.

The addition of Baghdad takes Qatar Airways’ global network to 116 destinations worldwide.
