Dubai - Emirates Airlines suspended flights to Baghdad on Tuesday, an Emirates executive said, after a shooting incident involving Dubai's flydubai carrier at the airport of the Iraqi capital.

“We suspended it right now,” Sheikh Majid Al Mualla, Divisional Senior Vice-President of Commercial Operations at Emirates, said on the sidelines of a Dubai conference.

Asked if this was because of the incident involving a flydubai aircraft, he said: “That's why we suspended it.”
