International flights to Iraq's autonomous Kurdistan region resumes

Iraqi Interior Minister Qassim al-Araji on Wednesday announced that a months-long federal ban on international flights into and out of northern Iraq's Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG)-held region has officially been lifted.


Al-Araji made the announcement at a meeting in Irbil with Karim Sinjari, interior minister of the Kurdish Regional Government (KRG).

"The decision to lift the flight ban came into force today [Wednesday]," al-Araji said.

"Now we are working on restoring air traffic [in the region] to their pre-ban levels," he added.
