Baghdad's airport reopened Monday amid a contract dispute between a British security firm and the Iraqi government that led to a 48-hour shutdown.
Global Strategies Group temporarily suspended its management of security operations at the airport Friday, saying there were "unresolved commercial issues" with Iraq's Transport Ministry. About 500 Global employees
handle security at Baghdad's airport.
Commercial flights resumed Monday and an Iraqi Airways plane from Jordan landed at the airport at 9:30 a.m. (0530 GMT), said Tark al-Najar, an airline spokesman.
