Iraqi Airways has dropped flights to London, UK and Sweden because of a row with Kuwait over war reparations and has flagged that the airline may be dissolved.

Iraqi Airways' first jet to fly to London in more than 20 years was impounded on arrival and the director general of Iraqi Airways, Kifah Jabar Hassan, was required to provide a statement on the airline's assets, remain within the jurisdiction of a UK court and surrender his passport. He later was allowed to leave the country.

Iraqi Transport minister Amer Abdul-Jabbar says now: "We will announce soon whether or not we will dissolve the company."
