Iraqi Airways to Vnukovo: return flights Moscow-Baghdad
And would you like to go to Baghdad? For me, the Middle East and the Persian Gulf are still uncharted territory. I was in Europe was in Asia, and even visited North Africa. But in countries that represent these airlines, I was not. Dubai, Istanbul and Baghdad - three options for travel. The last of option by far the most exotic.
The opening of regular flights between Moscow and Baghdad has become a holiday for Iraq and a very unexpected news for all Russians. Over 17 years of air service between our countries was not, and now it's open to everyone direct. I'm sure that for many people, this new airline. It's time to meet you!
Terminal And Vnukovo airport will not be called new, but it scoreboard appeared first string of Baghdad. The last time in this Arab country, the aircraft still flew from the old terminal.
The difficult situation in the region and long-term fight against terrorism has contributed to the development of the entire region. Iraq is no exception. Expect large passengers on the first flight it would be strange. Only one reception. In the future passenger traffic will be created from diplomats, students, Muslim tourists and other categories of citizens. interested or need a visit to the country. I hope that the region will come to a peaceful time and place for the registration will consist of tourists.
The first plane is a little late. In his waiting was able to read the history of the company. Iraqi Airways ("Iraqi Airways") appeared in 1945, and the first flight was made on 29 January 1946. In the history of the following decades, the domestic sites to highlight the acquisition of the Tu-124 for flights in Europe and Africa, as well as the Il-76 for transportation. Foreign talk about a much broader opportunities for the national carrier of Iraq, huacas first direct flights from Baghdad to new York.
Solemn meeting of the new carrier water arch. Like the arch over the past years, the Iraqi aircraft took place many times. So to serve the history of the state. In the 1990s learned the word country & quot;sanctions". Ban on flights to Europe cut off the company's many areas. limitations tried to shoot, but to no avail. Part of it was based outside the aircraft in the country, part of the made flights to the region.
After the US invasion of Iraq and large-scale military action, the leadership has begun the revival of aviation. All the work was done virtually from scratch. In October 2004, the company completed its first flight to Jordan (Amman), and the return to Europe began with the Stockholm (via Athens), where the liner of the company "Iraqi Airways" landed in 2009. By that time, their planes have become frequent visitors in all neighboring countries.
Return to the skies of Europe were not so serene. To Gradually open flights to Copenhagen, Frankfurt, Vienna. In London came not from the first. Later in 2015, the company again came under restrictions. Recently opened the route Baghdad-Minsk-Baghdad, and now we have opened the Baghdad-Moscow-Baghdad. 737-800 Boeing's New Yee-DIA only at the end of July was received by the airline.
About this and not only told the many journalists from Russia and not only, who took the first flight and the official meeting of the delegation.
You will be surprise. but the airline has a very good fleet with three dozen of Airbus, Boeing and Bombardier. Ahead of getting even a dozen 737-800, after which will come the Bombardier cs300 in the amount of 5 pieces and a Boeing 787-8 "Dreamliner" in the amount of 10 pieces.
Ambassador of Iraq in Russia, the Minister of transport and representatives of the airline "Iraqi Airways" was very excited about this event. Even They said. something "for us, this trend is much happier than for You & quot;. Not surprising, because the Vnukovo airport goes to the record for passenger numbers. To fly, bout of the respiratory tract, scat (expect a separate report), bearing in front, and that's not counting all the new directions are already known airlines.
For its part says. that to travel to Iraq I'm not ready yet. I am sure that in this country there is nothing to talk about. have something to show. but he is not planning to fly there. But who knows? Meanwhile, representatives of the airline stated desire to open flights to Saint Petersburg and Sochi.
All Over a nice Cup of tea and cake! Where do without him? This is the plane to meet without livery.
And flight attendants already began to make selfi.
On it my report is finished.
