flydubai resumes daily service to Erbil in Iraq

flydubai began its direct flights to Erbil in July 2010, creating free flows of trade and tourism between the two countries as Iraq has grown into one of the largest trading partners of the United Arab Emirates.

Iraq is an important market for flydubai, the carrier operates 37 weekly flights to four destinations: Baghdad, Basra, Erbil and Najaf. Operating from Dubai’s aviation hub, passengers from Iraq have access to a wide network of destinations in Europe, Asia, India and Russia.
