(MENAFN) Direct flights to Baghdad International Airport will officially be resumed for Saudi Arabian Airlines on October 30.
Led by Saudi Exports Development Authority Chairman Saleh Al-Salmi, a Saudi flight carrying a high-level trade and media delegation has arrived in Baghdad, paving the way for the regular flights to resume between the two neighboring countries.
Saudi Embassy Charge d'Affaires Abdulaziz Al-Shammari earlier said that the number of flights between Saudi and Iraq would top 20 weekly.
Saudi low-cost budget airline Flynas operated the first flight to Baghdad last Wednesday.
The last Saudi flight landed in the Iraqi capital was 27 years ago back in 1990.
