Growing Fleet Signals Dreams of Middle Eastern Expansion
Boeing tendered the first Boeing 787 Dreamliner to Iraqi Airways, making it the first of 10 eventual aircraft in the carrier's fleet. The delivery follows 4 737 MAX aircraft handed over since February of this year, with more on the way. Iraqi Airways has ordered a total of six 737-8s and 10 737-10s, providing its single-aisle fleet with more capability across its regional and medium-haul routes. The line currently offers service to 45 destinations from its home base in Baghdad, with plans to capitalize on Iraqi growth.
