Royal Jordanian resumes cargo flights to Iraq after airspace restrictions
Baghdad ( – Royal Jordanian Airlines has resumed full cargo operations to Iraq following a brief suspension caused by regional airspace closures.
The airline had halted its Iraqi routes due to heightened tensions stemming from the 12-day conflict between Iran and Israel, which led to the temporary shutdown of Iraqi and Jordanian airspace.
According to Cargo Commercial Director Khaled Alkhawaldeh, the airline restarted freight services to Baghdad, Erbil, Basra, and Sulaymaniyah on Wednesday, June 25, after operations were suspended until June 24.
With regional conditions stabilizing, Royal Jordanian has now fully restored its cargo services across Iraq.
