Etihad Airways has started non-stop flights to Baghdad five times weekly- making it the first commercial UAE airline to fly to Iraq. The service is operated by a two-class A320 aircraft. Etihad will expand its service with two additional A320 return services to a second Iraqi destination, Erbil, from 1 June.
“We believe demand on the route will build quickly, particularly from government and business travellers. We also expect to see strong interest from people from Iraq connecting through Abu Dhabi to Etihad’s extensive global network,” said Etihad Airways Chief Executive Officer James Hogan.
Etihad flights to Baghdad depart Abu Dhabi on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 10.00am, arriving at Baghdad’s international airport at 11.25am the same day. The return flights depart Baghdad on the same days at 12.30pm, arriving in Abu Dhabi at 3.50pm, local time.
