Over 700 aircraft fly across Iraqi airspace daily
Baghdad ( – The Iraqi Ministry of Transport revealed that more than 700 aircraft traveled across Iraqi airspace in a single day, marking the greatest level of aviation traffic ever recorded in Iraq.
According to the ministry, aviation traffic across Iraqi airspace has hit an all-time high, with more than 700 flights per day, suggesting that Iraqi airspace has recovered and fully restored its strength following regional tensions, the Iraqi News Agency (INA) reported on Sunday.
The achievement is an indicator of the government's national plan for rebuilding international trust in Iraqi airspace and improving operational preparedness to meet the highest standards.
Director of Iraq's General Company for Air Navigation Services (GCANS), Abbas Al-Baydani, explained that the organization has been able to carry out qualitative initiatives in a very brief period of time to build its infrastructure and improve personnel efficiency, reflecting Iraq's critical and essential position as a strategic air corridor connecting East and West.
Al-Baydani further stated that several regional and international airlines have reverted to using Iraqi airspace as a key route for their flights due to Iraq's operational stability and precise air traffic control services.
