History

The Airline takes its name from the Zagros Mountains. Zagrosjet was established in October 2005 by Zagros Group under the name Zagros Air. It was licensed as an Air Carrier by Ministry of Transportation – Iraq in June 2013 to perform scheduled and unscheduled flights for passenger and cargo. In August 2013 the airline changed its name to Zagrosjet to avoid confusion with Zagros Airlines of Iran. Zagrosjet launched its flight operations in 2013 with a network covering Middle East destinations, Europe and Turkey.
