Iraq Approves 40 Daily Flights for Iranian Airlines to Najaf Following US Waiver

2 Ekim 2026Al Jazeera

Iraq has authorized Iranian airlines to operate 40 daily flights to Najaf after receiving a US exemption, excluding Mahan Air.
Iraq has granted Iranian airlines permission for 40 daily flights to Najaf following a waiver from the United States. However, Mahan Air is notably excluded from this agreement.
This decision reflects ongoing diplomatic negotiations between Iraq, Iran, and the US, highlighting the complexities of regional air travel regulations.
The agreement comes amid a backdrop of strained relations between Iran and the US, where sanctions have limited the operations of certain Iranian airlines. Iraq's decision to allow more flights could be seen as a move to bolster its economic ties with Iran, while still adhering to US regulations.
The exclusion of Mahan Air from the agreement raises questions about the underlying geopolitical dynamics at play. It suggests that while Iraq seeks to strengthen ties with Iran through increased air connectivity, it must also navigate the constraints imposed by US sanctions.
