British Airways to Suspend Flights Between London and Tehran

British Airways said in a statement on Thursday (23) that it has decided to suspend its flights between London and Tehran, the capital city of Iran as the service is financially not viable.

British Airways said its last outbound flight service from London to Tehran is scheduled for September 22, while the last inbound flight from Tehran will be on September 23.


The flights between the two capital cities resumed after an accord between western countries and Iran in 2015 under which most international sanctions imposed were lifted in return to curbs on country’s nuclear programme.

The airline clarified in a statement that the flight service between two countries is not commercially viable which forced it to suspend the service.
