Iraqi Airways

Iraqi Airways is to resume flights to the Syrian capital Damascus for the first time since the war there erupted in 2011, a spokesman for the national carrier said Thursday.

Iraqi Airways has suspended two of its pilots for getting into a fight -- over a food tray -- during an international flight with more than 150 passengers on board.

The Pentagon said on Wednesday that US air strikes in Iraq and Syria against the ISIS group may have killed 119 civilians since 2014, a figure far lower than casualty estimates by monitoring groups.

More than 180 Indians returned early today from Basrah on a special flight of Iraqi Airways, taking the number of people who have come back from conflict-hit Iraq to over 3,500.

A day after 46 Indian nurses returned to Kochi in Kerala from war-torn Iraq, a special chartered flight carrying 200 more Indians from Najaf landed at the Delhi International Airport this morning.

Nearly 600 Indians will come back from conflict-hit Iraq over the next two days of whom 200 will return by an Iraqi Airways special chartered flight from Najaf to Delhi tonight, External Affairs Ministry said today.
