Iran extends ban on London flights due to coronavirus surge

Iran has extended a travel ban on flights to and from London due to a surge in the coronavirus disease in the UK, according to Head of Iran’s Civil Aviation Organization (CAO) Touraj Dehghani Zangeneh.

Zangeneh told IRNA that the travel ban will remain until Feb 18.  

Iran banned flights to and from Britain on Dec 21, 2020 as a new COVID variant was found in the European country.

All the Iranian and foreign airlines and travel agencies have already been informed about the imposition of the ban so that they will not bring any passenger from London to Tehran either by direct or connection flights.
