| [ARABNEWS] British Airways and Air La Belle France on Thursday said they would suspend flights to Tehran from next month for commercial reasons, as US sanctions against Iran start to bite. "We are suspending our London to Tehran service as the operation is currently not commercially viable," BA said. The last outbound flight to Tehran will be on Sept. 22, and the last inbound flight from Tehran will be on Sept. 23, it added. The airline said the decision had nothing to do with US President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... 's imposition of new sanctions on Iran, which has affected foreign businesses operating in the country, with many pulling out altogether. Air La Belle France, which had run connections to the Iranian capital via its low-cost operator Joon, told AFP it would axe the route on Sept. 18, blaming "poor commercial viability." The French carrier had already cut down on its Gay Paree to Tehran connections from three a week to just one earlier this month. Dutch carrier KLM, part of the same group as Air La Belle France, said last month that it was also suspending Tehran flights due to "negative results and financial outlook." |
