Editing Iraqi Airways (section)

===Later history===
Attempts were made to restart domestic services after the [[Gulf War]] in May 1991, and permission was granted by the [[United Nations]] to operate [[helicopter]]s on limited domestic services. [[Fixed-wing aircraft|Fixed-wing]] flights were [[Iraqi no-fly zones conflict|banned]] under the ceasefire terms, although the [[United Nations Security Council|UN Security Council]] agreed to the resumption of domestic flights. These restarted in January 1992 from Baghdad to [[Basra]], using [[Antonov An-24]] aircraft. Operations were suspended shortly after, following a UN ruling.<ref name="FI"/>

However, domestic flights became a rarity too, because of the [[Iraqi no-fly zones|no-fly zone]] imposed by the United States and [[United Kingdom]] over Iraqi skies. During the 1990s, Iraqi Airways would occasionally fly pilgrims to [[Muslim]] [[Holiest sites in Islam|religious cities]].
