EghtesadOnline: British Airways and Air France said on Thursday they will halt flights to Iran from September for business reasons, months after US President Donald Trump announced he would reimpose sanctions on Tehran.

EghtesadOnline: Air France is cutting its Joon subsidiary’s service between Paris and Tehran to the summer season only, blaming a poor economic performance over two years in operation.

EghtesadOnline: British Airways confirmed on August 23 that it would end its services to Iran, namely its five times weekly operation to Tehran’s Imam Khomeini International Airport, joining Air France and KLM which had both previously announced their withdrawal on their respective routes from Paris CDG and Amsterdam.
