Gulf Air has resumed flights to Baghdad International Airport following a temporary suspension over safety concerns after a Flydubai aircraft on a commercial flight was hit with bullets on landing.

Gulf Air said services were resumed on Saturday following “comprehensive safety and security assessments over the past week.” The Bahrain-based carrier said it also had “in depth consultations with airport and security officials in the Iraqi capital” as well as ongoing coordination with its representation in Baghdad and the Bahrain Civil Aviation Authority.

Gulf Air pointed out that a number of regional and international carriers had already resumed operations to Baghdad. In addition to the three flights a week it operates to the Iraqi capital, Gulf Air also operates daily flights to Najaf, which were not impacted by the security concerns at Baghdad.
