On 25 April 2010, Tor Air's Boeing 737-400 operated the first commercial service between Baghdad and London in 20 years, while on a wet lease to Iraqi Airways.[3] It was a short lived service however as a lawyer for Kuwait tried to have the aircraft seized in London due to financial problems between Iraq and Kuwait, this was not possible though as the aircraft belonged to a Swedish company and not an Iraqi company.[4]
Collapse
On 20 December 2011, Tor Air had its licence revoked by Sweden's transportation board,[5] due to lack of sufficient financial resources.[6] All staff were made redundant.
