DOHA, Qatar (AA) - Qatar Airways on Monday announced the resumption of flights to Iran after a temporary halt following the Israel-Iran escalation.
In a statement, Qatar Airways said all its 20 weekly flights to Iranian destinations have been resumed, including the flights to Tehran, Mashhad, Shiraz, and Isfahan.
The Qatari flag carrier also noted that it reinstated its flight services to Amman, Beirut, and Baghdad.
Meanwhile, the Iranian official news agency IRNA reported that flights at Tehran's Imam Khomeini International Airport have returned to their normal activity as of Monday.
Following the Iranian attack on Israel, several airlines announced a temporary suspension of their flights to Iran citing security reasons.
Iran on Saturday launched an airborne attack on Israel in retaliation for an April 1 airstrike on its diplomatic compound in the Syrian capital. It reportedly fired more than 300 drones and missiles, with almost all intercepted by the air defense systems of Israel and its allies – the US, France, and the UK.
