EgyptAir, one of Africa's largest airlines, will operate four weekly flights to Baghdad and three flights to north Iraq's Erbil area as of July 15, 2011, said Hussein Massoud, chairman of the EgyptAir holding company.

He said flights to the Iraqi capital will be operated on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays with a 145-seat Airbus A320 aircraft.
