ICAO, British Airways to ink MoU within days
ICAO Director has announced that Iran will sing an MoU with British Airways in the current week.
Deputy Aviation and International Affairs Chief of Iranian Civil Aviation
Organization (ICAO) Mohammad Khodakarami has announced the
increased willingness of foreign airliners to participate in Iran saying “the
officials at British Airways (BA) will make a visit to Tehran in the current
week in order to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with
ICAO.”
“Air France travelled to Iran about two months ago sealing an MoU with
ICAO on Tehran-Paris direct flights,” recalled the official adding “the
Frankfurt-Tehran flights will get a boost while the flights of KLM Royal
Dutch Airlines in the Amsterdam-Tehran route will get resumed after a
three-year halt.”
The official went on note that “Alitalia Airlines has increased RomeTehran flights from four to seven times a week as well as that AirAsia
Airlines Company has voiced readiness to resume flights to Iran after the
Malaysian company had suspended its flights to Iran in 2014.”
Khodakarami also announced three airlines’ readiness to start operations
to Iran including Malaysia’s Air Asia and two unknown Japanese and
Spanish airlines.
European carriers stopped their flights to Iran after the West imposed
sanctions on Iran over its nuclear program.
“Following Iran’s nuclear deal with world powers, several European
airlines aim to resume their flights to the country,” said Mohammad
Khodakarami, Deputy Head of CAO.
Recently, Iran said it is also considering direct flights to the United States
while direct flights stopped between the two countries more than three
decades ago.
