British Airways set to resume direct flights to Iran
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleBritish Airways is set to resume direct flights to Iran today, as some sanctions are lifted as part of the nuclear deal and tensions ease.
The airline’s first direct flight to Tehran in nearly four years is scheduled to leave London’s Heathrow Airport this evening, arriving tomorrow morning.
Service had been suspended in October 2012 as relations deteriorated.
British Airways plans six roundtrip flights per week with more flights scheduled to be added later this year.
