European Airline Returns to Baghdad After 35 Years

European Airline Returns to Baghdad After 35 Years

A plane from a Greek company called Aegean Airlines landed in Baghdad, the capital of Iraq, for the first time in 35 years.

This is a big deal because it shows that Iraq is becoming safer and more open to the world.

Before this, European airlines stopped flying to Baghdad a long time ago because of wars and fights in the country.

Now, Iraq is trying to attract more visitors and businesses, and this flight is a step in that direction.

The plane will fly between Baghdad and Athens, Greece, twice a week.

If many people use this flight, there might be more flights in the future.
