Iraqi Airways resumed direct flights to Iran on Thursday after a seven-month suspension that began amid the US-Israeli war on Iran in early March, according to the state-run Iraqi News Agency (INA).
这家国有航空公司表示,今后每日都会有航班从纳杰夫国际机场飞往德黑兰、马什哈德和伊斯法罕。
The national carrier said regular daily flights would operate from Najaf International Airport to Tehran, Mashhad and Isfahan.
航空公司称,在满足相关监管及技术条件后,伊拉克总理阿里·扎伊迪与交通部长瓦哈布·哈萨尼共同推动了这一举措。
The resumption followed efforts by Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi and Transport Minister Wahab al-Hasani after the necessary regulatory and technical requirements were completed, the airline said.
恢复这些航线旨在便利民众出行,并进一步拓展伊拉克在地区内的航空网络,尤其满足宗教、医疗及教育方面的出行需求。
It added that restoring the routes aims to facilitate passenger travel and expand Iraq’s regional air connections, particularly for religious, medical and educational purposes.
今年2月28日美以对伊朗开战之后,出于安全考虑,伊拉克航空随即暂停了飞往伊朗的航班,同时该国也因地区局势紧张而暂时关闭了本国领空。
Iraqi Airways suspended its flights to Iran in early March as a precautionary measure following the outbreak of the US-Israeli war on Iran on Feb. 28. Iraq also closed its airspace as regional military tensions escalated.
