IRAN-IRAQ FLIGHTS RESUME

"An Iraqi Airways passenger plane has landed in Tehran, the first flight in 25 years between the nations that fought a bitter eight-year war.

A state television report in Iran showed the Boeing-727, which carried 69 passengers including Iraqi civil aviation officials and reporters, landing and taxiing to the terminal.

The flight later returned to Baghdad.

Sunday's flight carried journalists and politicians rather than fare-paying passengers and was intended as an advertisement for the forthcoming scheduled flights, Iraqi airline sources said.

Regular flights between Baghdad and Tehran - on Wednesdays and Fridays - were expected to resume on November 16, the report said. "
