Qatar Airways has announced the resumption of its passenger flights to Baghdad, Basra, and Erbil in Iraq, starting from 10 May 2026. This move is part of the airline's broader strategy to restore its network across the Middle East. In addition to passenger services, Qatar Airways will reintroduce freighter services to Baghdad from 7 May 2026, supporting cargo operations.
The airline's decision to resume these routes follows recent announcements of reinstating daily passenger services to Dubai, Sharjah, Bahrain, Damascus, and Kozhikode. This expansion aims to provide passengers with increased flexibility and connectivity across the region and beyond.
Qatar Airways is actively working on a phased restoration of its global network, with plans to expand its flight schedule to over 150 destinations across six continents by 16 June 2026. The airline advises passengers to regularly check its official website or app for updates and ensure their contact details are current.
The airline has noted that flight schedules may be subject to change or cancellation due to operational, regulatory, safety, or other unforeseen circumstances.
