Jan 26, 2024 (newstodate): Plans for Fly Baghdad to launch flights to Copenhagen Airport are now very much in doubt..
Earlier this week, US imposed sanctions on the carrier alleged to be carrying arms and munitions to Iran’s military wing and its proxy groups in Iraq, Syria and Lebanon.
This has now forced the airline to suspend all flights and seek shelter from creditors pending clarity over the situation.
Fly Baghdad originally intended to launch flights from Erbil to Copenhagen starting from December 28, 2023, later rescheduling the inaugural flight to late January 2024 - which will not happen after the US sanctions.
Fly Baghdad intended to operate a weekly service from Erbil, in Iraqi Kurdistan, operated with wet-leased Airbus A320 aircraft from the Romanian airline Dan-Air as the airline itself is banned from EU airspace in the latest EU air safety black list published on November 30, 2023.
