Originally posted by LUNN View PostSaudi too but I think ties are not normal anymore even though they are Arabs, thpugh Iranian carriers do fly there despite strained relations and animosity, weird.
Two ex-Virgin A346 also going to the airline.
I don't see much future for Iraqi Airways at present, but one never knows. Iraqis are also pragmatic people, and Baghdad is a large economic powerhouse pulling in people from many parts of the world, so there will always be demand for flights to/from Baghdad given sustained stability, whatever the shape and form of any future "Iraq".

The A346s are going to be configured with 45 Business, and 263 Coach seats.
Is it possible that these aircraft are just being taken up as they wait for the 787s? Or, are they here to stay?Whatever is necessary, is never unwise.

Originally posted by HalcyonDays View PostI can't think of a more useless aircraft to Iraqi Airways than an A340-600. I assume the capital costs of acquisition and/or lease costs overcome the clunker aspects.Whatever is necessary, is never unwise.
