Baghdad Airport flights restart following fog halt
Shafaq News – Baghdad (Updated at 11:58)
Flights at Baghdad International Airport resumed on Monday after dense fog briefly disrupted operations, an airport source told Shafaq News.
According to the source, authorities suspended air traffic in the early hours due to low visibility, before conditions improved and flights returned to normal.
The airport has not released any statement regarding the suspension and resumption of flights.
Similar weather-related disruptions have affected several Iraqi airports in recent days, including Kirkuk, Najaf, and Basra, with operations restarting once visibility improved.
Storm systems have swept across Iraq in recent weeks—from Nineveh to the Kurdistan Region and into central and southern provinces—bringing floods, road closures, casualties, and temporary shutdowns of water facilities.
