- Flyerbil was founded in 2015 and began commercial operations in 2018 albeit as a virtual carrier using chartered in capacity. Changes in Iraqi Civil Aviation Regulations [have since curbed such activities](https://insideaviation.news/iraq-recapitalised-and-refleeted-fly-erbil-set-to-resume-flight-operations/), requiring airlines to operate at least one aircraft in-house.
- The airline said it intends to widen its network to additional Iraqi cities and regional and international points while aligning services with international standards.
- Recent fleet activity includes the addition of Airbus A320-200 (MSN 3460 | YI-EBL), which joined the carrier in October 2026.
