The first scheduled passenger flight between the Iraqi cities of Baghdad and Basra has taken place.
Some 42 passengers made the 50-minute trip from the Iraqi capital to the southern city, including airways officials and the transport minister.
Iraqi Airways intends to operate four flights a week on the route.
Airline officials are encouraging the public to use the flight, which avoids a six-to-seven hour drive through dangerous parts of the country.
