Me thinks that whoever flies more humanitarian aid into Baghdad will get their permission to go there first. Iraq needs to rebuild a bit and be safer before passenger services commence. So, if you fly in with tons of food and medicines, you will probably be lucky enough to be allowed tofly passenger services first.

I think the countries, including the UK, who achieved the liberation of the Iraqis from Saddam's brutal regime will have much influence in the rebuilding.
The countries who supported Saddam will find their influence lessened.
Not sure what happened to my earlier post, perhaps it wasn't politically correct to offer such an obvious observation.

From BBC News: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/2962221.stm BA are in talks to start a 3 times weekly service to Baghdad using B763 equipment. Seems "highly unlikely" to be BMed!

Good to see that Qatar are sticking by their guns. Their CEO said some time back that they would of started a route to SDA if Iraq was stable. Nice to see that they are still wanting to fly the route.
