Fly Baghdad is a private Iraqi airline, headquartered in Baghdad,[4] with flights based at Baghdad International Airport. The airline restarted its operations on 14 February 2017.[5] Fly Baghdad has 1 Boeing B737-700, 5 B737-800, 3 B737-900ER, 1 CRJ-200 and 1 CRJ-900 with an average aircraft age of approximately fifteen years. After the dissolution of old board, the new management rebuilt the company again. The company slogan is Less Price... More Flights. Flights to the European Union have been banned in November 2023, due to safety concerns.[6]

In January 2024, U.S. Treasury Department sanctioned Fly Baghdad and its CEO for providing assistance to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps and its proxy groups in Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon by transporting fighters and weapons.[7] [8] Fly Baghdad canceled flights on all routes and suspended operations effective January 25, 2024.[9] Flights resumed several weeks later.
