Baghdad The Iraqi Airways company revealed the reasons for the delay of one of its planes flying from Rafic Hariri Airport in Beirut to Iraqi territory, while it apologized to the passengers for the delay in their travel date.
The company’s management said, in an official statement today, Tuesday, that “the reasons for the delay resulted from damage to one of the engines of the plane that was scheduled to carry out the flight, after it was hit by a group of birds.”
The company added, “according to the technical manual of the plane, it is not allowed to fly in this condition, which necessitated its replacement with another plane to carry out its scheduled flights after obtaining official approvals from the Iraqi and Lebanese civil aviation authorities and preparing a new crew, and it headed to Beirut.”
