Turkish Airlines, the airline flying to the largest number of countries worldwide, has resumed flights to the city of Sulaymaniyah, which were suspended in April 2023.

With the reinstatement of this route, the number of Turkish Airlines destinations in Iraq has returned to six. The national carrier also operates flights to Baghdad, Najaf, Erbil, Basra, and Kirkuk.
