A Boeing 777 of British Airways has landed in Tehran after four years of hiatus in the airways’ flights to the Islamic Republic.
Flight 153 left London Sept. 1 at 21:00 and landed in Tehran’s Imam Khomeini Airport at 6:15 the following morning, IRNA news agency reported on September 2.
British Airways made its first flight to Iran in 1946. The flights were stopped in 2012 under international sanctions on Iran.
About four months ago the company announced that it had decided to resume the flights as the sanctions had been lifted.
British Airways says it will fly six times a week from London to Tehran. Iran Air will also conduct three flights from Tehran to London every week.
