Iran Air cleared to resume flights to Europe
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleBRUSSELS — The European Union eases restrictions against Iran Air and is allowing most of its planes to resume flights to Europe.
EU Transport Commissioner Violeta Bulc says Thursday that a successful “technical assessment” was carried out at Iran Air in May, weeks after she visited the country.
She says the EU can now “allow most aircraft from Iran Air back into European skies.”
Iran’s air safety record has been spotty, with parts nearly impossible to get for the country amid world sanctions over its nuclear program.
