KRG halts flights to Saudi Arabia as Umrah pilgrims remain stranded
Also in Kurdistan Kurdistan Region's forests nearly halved by fires over 60 years: Official Erbil court hands Duhok journalist new prison sentence Plastic waste accounts for over a quarter of the Kurdistan Region's trash, experts warn Halabja declares two days of mourning after wildfires claim two lives A+ A- ERBIL, Kurdistan Region - Authorities in the Kurdistan Region halted all flights to Saudi Arabia on Tuesday after hundreds of pilgrims visiting for the Umrah pilgrimage were left stranded due to irregular Iraqi Airways schedules. The Kurdistan Region's General Directorate of Hajj and Umrah said many pilgrims have been forced to either remain in Saudi Arabia or return by bus due to irregular Iraqi Airways schedules, warning that no company facilitating the Hajj and Umrah pilgrimage is permitted to arrange air travel until further notice. In a statement, it warned 'all Hajj and Umrah companies in all governorates and independent administrations not to arrange any Umrah trips by air until the General Directorate of Hajj and Umrah gives them permission.' The directorate also called on Iraqi Airways to expedite the return of Kurdish pilgrims or face legal accountability, stressing that flights from Erbil and Sulaimani airports will remain halted until all stranded passengers are brought back and assurances are given for timely returns. 'We also warn Iraqi Airways officials that they must make efforts to return Kurdistan's Umrah pilgrims from Saudi Arabia as soon as possible, otherwise they will face legal accountability,' the statement continued, adding that the Iraqi Airways flights have been few and irregular. Karwan Stuni, spokesperson of the General Directorate of Hajj and Umrah, told Rudaw on Tuesday that around 1,000 pilgrims remain stranded in Saudi Arabia. This year, 1,646 people from the Kurdistan Region traveled to Saudi Arabia by land and 3,490 people by air, according to Stuni. The annual Hajj pilgrimage holds deep religious significance as one of the Five Pillars of Islam. It is a mandatory act of worship for Muslims who are physically and financially able to undertake the journey. Hajj, which occurs from the 8th to the 12th of Dhu al-Hijjah in the Islamic calendar, falling in early June in 2025, requires pilgrims to arrive in advance to prepare for the physically and spiritually demanding rituals in Mecca.

Iraq transit route enhances connectivity for the Gulf
Baghdad ( – Bahrain-based Kalaam Telecom Group has marked the first year of its Iraq transit route, developed with the Iraqi Informatics & Telecommunication Public Company (ITPC). The terrestrial system has become a strategic link for data traffic between the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and Europe. Iraq's central location makes it a vital corridor for regional digital connectivity. The route provides an alternative to traditional pathways through the Red Sea, helping Gulf countries reduce dependence on congested and vulnerable chokepoints. By delivering lower latency, higher resiliency, and enhanced security, the project improves the reliability of data flows that support sectors such as finance, government, and international communications. The initiative highlights Iraq's emerging role as a hub for regional and global connectivity, while reflecting Kalaam's efforts to expand diverse and resilient digital infrastructure across the Gulf.

Egypt launches new commercial channel linking Iraq, Saudi Arabia
Baghdad ( – Egypt has established a new commercial route linking it with Saudi Arabia and Iraq, demonstrating the scope of transformations in infrastructure and strategic planning for regional transport. The first trial shipment recently passed through Egypt's Safaga seaport on the Red Sea. This shipment is part of a proposal to establish a new regional commercial corridor that will connect Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq. The initiative is part of a contemporary intermodal transportation infrastructure that mixes marine and land transport, reshaping the trading landscape between the Middle East and North Africa. This new corridor represents not only a logistical milestone but also a significant advancement in the economic integration among the three countries. Rather than relying on lengthy, complicated, and geographically demanding traditional routes, the new corridor provides an integrated model that begins in Cairo, passes through the Safaga Port, crosses the Red Sea to the Saudi port of NEOM, and continues by land to Erbil, the capital of the Kurdistan region of Iraq. According to sources at Safaga Port, this pilot project has resulted in a more than 50 percent decrease in transit time compared to regular routes, providing a significant economic advantage in light of geopolitical challenges that some traditional corridors face.
