British Airways Launches Flights to Tehran, Iran

British Airways has launched direct flights between London Heathrow and Tehran, the capital of Iran.

Flights will operate six times per week from London Heathrow Terminal 5 with a four-class Boeing 777 aircraft.

As well as giving even more choice and flexibility between London and the Middle East, especially for families looking to visit relatives, Tehran is also an emerging market with real opportunities for businesses to grow commercial links.

“British Airways has a long history of flying to Iran so we are very excited to be launching our new six times a week service, direct from Heathrow to Tehran,” said Sean Doyle, British Airways’ Head of network and fleet. “Iran is a fascinating country, full of amazing and surprising places for tourists to visit and discover its sophisticated and ancient culture. The recent lifting of sanctions has also effectively allowed Iran to re-open for business and paved the way for commerce to re-connect with Iran’s economy, which is the second largest in Middle East and North Africa, with a diverse range of businesses and industries.”
