ERBIL, Kurdistan Region of Iraq - The first flights to Erbil International Airport are set to arrive Friday morning from Jordan and Baghdad, the airport's director said Thursday, as Iraqi airspace reopens amid a fragile two-week ceasefire between the US and Iran.

The first flights are set to arrive from Jordan at 03:05 am and another from Baghdad at 07:00 am, Erbil International Airport Director Ahmed Hoshyar told The New Region.

“As the situation normalizes, flights will resume in accordance with the scheduled timetable,” he said.

Iraqi airspace has been closed since the US-Israel war with Iran started in late February, with both sides trading salvos of drones and missiles. Iraq was the only country to see attacks from both sides of the conflict carried out on its soil.

The country reopened irs airspace on Wednesday, a day after Washington and Tehran reached an unsteady two-week ceasefire, with the two sides resuming talks mediated by Islamabad.

Iraq’s transport ministry announced that the first passenger plane, a Flydubai flight, landed at Basra International Airport on Thursday.

Baghdad and Erbil’s airports have been targeted several times during the war, with most attacks claimed by pro-Iran militias in Iraq.

On Wednesday, the US embassy in Baghdad warned that Iran-aligned Iraqi militias “may intend to launch additional terrorist attacks against US citizens and US-associated targets throughout Iraq,” including the Kurdistan Region.

The embassy also advised citizens to avoid air travel in Iraq despite the reopening of the country's airspace.
