What the sources establish
The Turkish state news agency Anadolu is the sole inspected reporting origin for the commercial-service launch. The full public report was read; no separate airline or airport announcement, operating records, fare schedule or independent corroborating report was inspected. The account establishes what Anadolu reports, not guaranteed future service or a change in entry requirements. The publisher gives a November 5 date; article clock metadata has no explicit UTC offset, so midnight UTC represents the publication date rather than a known departure, arrival or launch hour. The rounded Erbil city coordinate is representative, not an airport or aircraft position. Flight days, times, identifiers, crew identities and operational movement details are omitted.
