Emirates restart its flights to Basra, but suspensions to Baghdad, Tehran and Beirut continue

Emirates Airline has officially announced the resumption of its flights to Basra in Iraq starting from October 17.

This development is a positive advancement for travelers wishing to continue their journeys to Basra, as a crucial connection is being restored after a period of interruption. The announcement marks an important step as the airline begins to reinstate services to key destinations within its network. However, Emirates has also indicated that flights to certain other destinations will remain suspended. Flights to Baghdad and Tehran (Iran) will continue to be suspended until October 23.

Additionally, the airline has extended the suspension of flights to Beirut until October 31. This decision reflects the complex operational and logistical challenges that still exist in these regions.

Emirates is committed to resuming full operations as soon as conditions permit, while ensuring safety and compliance with international regulations.
