Erbil - normal procedure?
Hello,
This is my first post to here and for starting have to say, I'm not a pilot. Here is two print screen from flightradar24 near Erbil International airport. One shows how Austrian airlines Airbus take off and made some circles in take off. It was earlier this week. Other one shows Iraqi airways quite intresting flight route, from earlier today. I'm intresting to know is these normal procedures or is it all because of IS, which operate abou 50-60km from Erbil?
Is this kind of destination for the pilots "just another day in the office" or is it selected or "volunteer" (with some extra salary?) pilots which fly these kind of destinations which are near warzone or otherwise very unstable?

It's look like that there is no logic.. I'm sorry if I am too direct.. But in this photo, flight from Baghdad to Istanbul takes quite eastern route over the Kurdistan areas, but at the same time, other plane from same air carrier from Ankara to Baghdad flies directly over Kirkuk - what is practically warzone.
