Airline Name
Basra AirlinesIATA: BH / ICAO: BSQ / Callsign: BASRA
Country of Origin
Iraq
Aircraft Types Used (from those available in WoA)
CRJX (Bombardier CRJ 1000EL) (2 operated),The above photo is the first photo on one of the main sites and its hard to find a photo of the other side at the moment so here’s one from linkedin I cropped,
Why should this airline be added?
A brand new operator, only beginning flights in October of 2025 and as of very recently, beginning flights to Istanbul after previously having the only international destination of Beirut. It currently seems to only operate from Baghdad but I presume based on the name, it is due to start up operations from Basra in the near future. They also operate to Erbil in the north and according to wiki started flights to Basra from both Baghdad and Erbil but aside from that I can’t see any evidence the flights still operate. From their website, you can book flights from Baghdad to Beirut and Istanbul with a single flight for the 10th July to Trabzon with nothing further than that. You can also book flights from Najaf to Beirut but there is nothing else offered so I have no idea lol. If it’s to be added, it would be good as available from all Iraqi airports like Iraqi currently is.The airline operates, at current, 2 CRJ 1000’s which were previously Air France/Brit Air and then HOP! aircraft.
It would have the range to operate to MCT and likely to BRI too, providing another operator as currently we merely have the new Iberia Regional livery (Old livery) and this type being a personal favourite, it would be nice to expand the roster of liveries for it in-game.
