“As of 20th April, Gulf Air (who else coming from my post?) announced that final preparations are underway to resume flights into Baghdad.”
“Following the de-escalation of hostilities in Iraq and the urgent humanitarian and redevelopment challenges now facing the country, we would like to start flights as soon as possible,” said James Hogan, President and Chief Executive of Gulf Air.
They also mention that they are desperate to re-unite the approx 6m familys living apart from the past 20 years together again.
