Iran Air is preparing to restart flights to Japan following last month’s international deal to end sanctions imposed over Iran’s nuclear program, according to two people familiar with the situation.
The carrier will initially restart flights connecting Tokyo’s Narita airport with Tehran, with a stop in Beijing, on a once-a-week basis, said one of the people, who asked not to be identified because a final decision hasn’t been made. The earliest that Iran Air is likely to resume service is next year after ending flights in 2012, the person said.
