Planes flying from Lithuania to SE Asia mysteriously land in Iran

[Jerusalem Post] Iran smuggled two planes out of Lithuania, the country's public broadcaster announced on Thursday. The planes were due to fly to Sri Lanka and the Philippines.

The two Airbus A340s, leased by the Gambian company Macka Invest, were due to fly to South Asia in February but reportedly ended up in Iran. The aircraft's transponders—which enable them to be identified on air traffic control radars—were turned off upon entry into Iranian airspace. The aviation data site ch-aviation reported that one plane had landed at Mehrabad airport in Tehran and another at Konarak airport in Chabahar.

The incident was originally reported by vz.lt, a Lithuanian business news website.

#2 Iran’s Civil Aviation Administration has confirmed the purchase of four Airbus A340 wide-body aircraft, despite US sanctions.
On December 24, 2022, the four Airbus A340 airliners, formerly flown by Turkish Airlines and recently registered in Burkina Faso, departed for a scheduled flight from South Africa to Uzbekistan. However, as they flew over Iran, the aircraft disappeared from flight tracking services.
Days later, their presence at Mehrabad International Airport (THR) in Tehran, Iran, was confirmed by satellite imagery.
