Iranian flights suspension: legal or Iraqi choice
The article discusses the suspension of Iranian flights at some Iraqi airports between September 21 and 25, 2026. Legal experts attribute this to issues related to Iraq's sovereignty and the impact of secondary American sanctions, rather than an official Iraqi government decision. American sanctions have led to the withdrawal of foreign ground service companies, which affected passenger transfers. The experts believe that suspending flights does not require an official decision from Iraqi authorities, and that bilateral agreements governing transportation are not automatically affected by external sanctions. They emphasized that the Iraqi parliament has oversight tools, but the decision ultimately rests with the relevant aviation authorities. They suggested that Iraq should issue a clear official resolution to continue air traffic or establish a national entity that provides ground services independently of external sanctions, to ensure the legal continuation of flights.
