An official welcoming ceremony was held at Baghdad International Airport with the participation of the Greek Ambassador and Civil Aviation officials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the first stage, flights are planned to operate twice a week, on Saturdays and Tuesdays. In the coming period, it is stated that the frequency may be increased to daily flights depending on demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Standards Are Rising at Baghdad Airport<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Iraqi Ministry of Transport states that significant improvements have recently been made in airport services. It is reported that international institutions such as the Greek Civil Aviation Authority observed important developments during their inspections in Baghdad, and that these infrastructure improvements at the airport played an effective role in the launch of these flights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Taha Cargo, We Closely Follow Developments<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The establishment of a direct air bridge between Europe and Iraq is a critical development not only for passenger transportation but also for air cargo capacity and commercial speed. The diversification of transportation networks means faster operational opportunities for our exporters and business partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Taha Cargo, we closely follow these positive developments in Iraq\u2019s logistics infrastructure. With our strong road transportation and air freight experience on the Turkey-Iraq route, we will continue to turn every newly opened route into an advantage for our customers and remain your most reliable logistics solution partner in the region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A First After 30 Years: Direct Flights from Europe to Baghdad Have Started Iraq\u2019s normalization process in the international arena continues without slowing down.
