I am not even sure if US government will have to be approval to get fifth freedom traffic rights through USA-Iraq. So let's the speculate about this one. If necessary from DOT is subject to be in negotiations deal from DL will start service from DTW-BGW. There is possible for DL want to put on 744 aircraft but, last time NW is tries to get traffic rights through AMS-BGW in 2003/2004. They were never start service from AMS-BGW nonstop. So here the news article published came in today:

So let's the speculations begin.

Maybe in 2050.

Talk to someone who has flow into and out of Bagdad on a military aircraft... and you gain an understanding of why its a bit too early to talk about commercial flights.
