After the dissolution of old board, the new management rebuilt the company again. The company slogan is Less Price..." More Flights. Flights to the European Union have been banned in November 2023, due to safety concerns.[6]

In January 2024, U.S. Treasury Department sanctioned Fly Baghdad and its CEO for providing assistance to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps and its proxy groups in Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon by transporting fighters and weapons.[7][8] Fly Baghdad canceled flights on all routes and suspended operations effective 25 January 2024.[9] Flights resumed several weeks later.[citation needed]
