Air France has resumed flights to Iran after an eight-year hiatus, linking the French and Iranian capitals with a thrice-weekly A330-200-operated service.
The 4,194-kilometre route between Paris CDG (CDG) and Tehran Imam Khomeini (IKA) was launched on 17 April, and will face no direct competition. That said, Iranian airline Mahan Air has plans to launch its own services between the two cities in June.
Frederic Gagey, the airline’s CEO, spoke of its “great pride in returning to Iran”.
