Iraqi Airways Prepares for Growth with Third Boeing Dreamliner

Iraqi Airways is set to receive its third Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, part of a larger order of 10 aircraft. Known for its advanced technology and passenger comfort, the Dreamliner has a seating capacity of 264 passengers. This delivery aligns with the airline’s ongoing fleet renewal strategy, which includes recent acquisitions like the Airbus A220 and Boeing 737 MAX. These upgrades aim to restore the airline’s reputation and expand international routes to destinations such as London and New York.

The airline currently operates a diverse fleet of 41 active aircraft, including models like the Airbus A220 and Boeing 737, with an average fleet age of 8.9 years, according to information from PlaneSpotters.com

This effort also reflects the airline’s broader goals to gain certification for operations in the US and Europe, overcoming past restrictions.
