They are still undecided on their short haul replacement (A350's again, A330neo, 787 1000 are in the running IIRC) they basically want something they can run into the ground like the A330's but cheaper to run :P

Many seem to be of the opinion the 7810 has the upper hand because range isn't important as it will be the <5 hour flights, but the A339 would seem to offer more flexibility for longer thinner routes (than a 77X).

Crewmeal, as noted Erbil and Basra are still being operated and Baghdad is temporarily suspended until they sort our what happened with Flydubai, and I'm sorry if I didn't make it clear enough but I did say "Some may even include... ...on this list although I personally wouldn't."

My mistake with Tripoli, DXB-MLA-TIP-MLA-DXB is still on their route map.
