Egyptair flights between Cairo and Baghdad resumed yesterday after a 21-year break, Egyptair's chairman Hussein Massoud told AFP. Hussein said that the first flight took off from Cairo with around 30 passengers on board, adding that the airline would fly four times a week to the Iraqi capital and three times a week to Erbil in the Kurdistan Region. Egyptair stopped its flights to Iraq in 1990 after Saddam Hussein ordered the invasion of Kuwait.
