Oct 2 (Reuters) – Iranian airlines excluding Mahan Air are allowed 40 daily flights to and from Iraq’s Najaf international airport, the Iraqi prime minister’s office said on Friday, following a suspension of flights due to US sanctions.
• Iraq had halted flights to and from Iran last week, in line with US sanctions
• Reuters reported earlier this week that the US was set to grant a one-month US Treasury waiver to allow for flights carrying Shi’ite Muslim religious pilgrims between Iran and Iraq
