History

FlyErbil is a Kurdish airline founded in 2015 in Erbil, the capital of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, by two young businessmen, Mr. Serkaft Zebari and Mr. Lawand Mamondy.

On 28 June 2018, FlyErbil successfully launched its inaugural flight from Erbil International Airport to Rotterdam The Hague Airport via Kyiv International Airport (Zhuliany). This milestone marked the airline's entry into the European market, symbolizing the growing connectivity between the Kurdistan Region of Iraq and international destinations. [6]
