Where do Middle East airlines fly?

[RandyBMC]

I know from experience that flydubai hit Kabul and Kandahar, as well as Erbil and Sulaimaniyah in Iraq.

What other "hot spots" do the other airlines in the Middle East serve? I am speaking strictly of passenger routes.

I heard that EK was going to start service to Baghdad, but did that happen? Who else, if anyone, serves Kabul besides the Afghan carriers?

I am most interested in Emirates, Etihad, Qatar and Air Arabia, but would like info from anyone relevant.

Thanks,
Randy

So you want us to google for you ?????????????????

Gulf Air flies to all the hot spots. Its becoming their thing. They do 4 destinations in Iraq and Kabul + they'll start South Sudan soon.

R6 - no, I did that. I wanted to hear it from the horse's mouth. For instance, some of the websites show a destination, only to say that it is temporarily suspended (Air Arabia's Kabul for instance).

As pilots, we are always familiar with the truth of where we actually serve, so I was trying to get accurate info for the region.

Thanks!

Truth????

Just interested as to which airlines you are aware of that keep their destinations a secret from their customers??

Shouldn't think it would be a very successful business model now would it?

Out of interest, what the hell is a 'Teahid'?

[muppet in the sky]

Or possibly Teahid can be one those airlines "that doesn't disclose its existance to the passengers"

[givemewings]

Seems like "Teahid" is an auto correction- it's popping up all over the CC forums too....

Guess it's a taboo topic now since 'the letters' went out...

Randy, can't speak for Teahid but EKfly to the following destinations:

1. EAST, normally after the sun has set,
2. WEST, normally as the sun rises,
3. NORTH before proceeding to 1 or 2,
4. SOUTH, but normally before proceeding as per 3, and
5. All possible combinations and permutations of 1 to 4.

Hope this helps.
