hey guys i have did some investigation in Qatar airways and i got some interesting information which might help you. One of the captains from Qatar airways said that they fly over Iraq very close to Baghdad on every flight to the US.It is obvious that it is now safe to fly over Iraq.So there is nothing wrong in landing there.When gf was almost shot down over Iraq, all flights passing over iraq were suspended.ever since conditions in Iraq are getting stable ,it is now safe to fly to Iraq in my opinion.I don't think Iraq is a war zone anymore.The only problem is that there is a high crime rate as it was in Pakistan.
