The researchers identified more than 30 Air France flights between April 2022 and November 2025, and more than 100 KLM flights between January 2022 and May 2025, in restricted parts of the flight information area in Baghdad.
Foreign airlines carrying a US airline code must comply with applicable FAA airspace restrictions. The two carriers were ordered to cease further violations.
