US extends flight restrictions for commercial flights over Iraq until 2027
Oct 17, 2024 12:46 PM

WASHINGTON, Oct 15 (Reuters) - The Federal Aviation

Administration on Tuesday extended the restrictions on

commercial airlines over Iraq for U.S. flights for another three

years citing risks to flights.

The agency is extending the prohibition against flying below

certain altitudes through October 2027 citing risks from

Iranian-aligned militia groups' activities and third-party

military operations. The restrictions also apply to foreign

operators operating as code share flights for U.S. carriers.

Last month, the U.S. Transportation Department fined Air Canada ( ACDVF )

$250,000 for operating flights in 2022 and 2023 in

prohibited Iraqi airspace.
