India, Iraq talks may lead to expanded pact on flights

India and Iraq are likely to expand cooperation in aviation after a gap of 27 years, allowing their domestic carriers to fly more frequently to tap trade, reconstruction, religious and medical tourism opportunities.
A bilateral air services agreement was first signed in 1955 and endorsed again in 1983. Since then, no talks have taken place on expanding the scope of the agreement.
The agreement only allows two flights a week between the two countries, said a government official who did not want to be named.
