BAGHDAD: Baghdad has decided to close down state-owned Iraqi Airways in the face of a decades-old financial dispute with neighbouring Kuwait that prompted the seizure of one of its aircraft last month, the transport ministry said on Wednesday.
"The cabinet decided yesterday (Tuesday) to wind up the Iraqi company," ministry spokesman Aqil Kawthar told media.
"The decision was taken because of the numerous acts of harassment that the company has faced from Kuwait that have prevented its planes from taking on fuel and food at various airports," Kawthar added.
