Iran Air has suspended flights to Europe due to European sanctions. Iran Air was the only airline operating flights from Iran to European countries.
"Iranian Airlines is the only airline that flew from our country to Europe, and due to the new EU sanctions against Iranian airlines, no Iranian planes will fly to Europe in the future," said Maksod Assadi Samani, director of the Iranian Airlines Association . . (provided by ILNA).
Maksoud Asadi Samani added that Iranian airlines' flights to Europe are in high demand among Iranian citizens. He also suggested continuing the flights via foreign airlines or connecting flights between Turkey and the United Arab Emirates.
Yesterday (14 October), the European Union (EU) imposed sanctions on the Iranian airlines Iran Air, Mahan Air and Saha Air. A further four legal entities and seven natural persons were subject to restrictions. The sanctions were imposed because the EU Council suspects Iran of supplying missiles and drones to Russia and the Houthi rebels in Yemen.
