The Iraq aviation companies return marks a significant milestone, as seven major global airlines resume flights in Iraqi airspace. The General Company for Air Navigation Services, affiliated with Iraq’s Ministry of Transport, announced this development on Monday. This progress clearly reflects rising international confidence in Iraq’s air navigation services.

Among the returning airlines, Al-Baydani listed well-known names such as German Cargo, Swiss Air, Lufthansa Airx, Qantas Airlines, Giant Cargo, LOT Polish Airlines, and Wizz Air Abu Dhabi. The return of these airlines signals rapid growth in Iraq’s relations with global air carriers.

Moreover, Al-Baydani highlighted that the confidence stems from the competence of Iraqi air traffic controllers and the operational and technical capabilities of the navigation company. This trust motivates continuous improvement in the aviation sector.

The company continues to implement development and modernization plans for infrastructure and navigation equipment. Its goal remains to offer the best services to airlines and establish Iraq as a key regional and international air transit hub.
