BAGHDAD Jordan's state-owned airline Royal Jordanian has resumed scheduled flights to Iraq for the first time in a decade, Reuteres quoted a Jordanian cabinet minister as saying.

Trade and Industry Minister Wasef Azzar told reporters late on Tuesday that a Royal Jordanian airbus plane had landed in Baghdad earlier in the day.

"There will be regular flights, one every Tuesday and the other every Friday," said Azzar, who flew into Baghdad aboard the airliner.
