British Airways was on Thursday to become the first British airline in four years to fly directly to Iran following the lifting of some sanctions against Tehran.
Flagship carrier BA is to operate six flights per week between London Heathrow and Tehran, with the first service set to depart London at around 9:00 pm (2000 GMT). BA first offered flights between London and Tehran in 1946 but ended its service in 2007 as sanctions were imposed on Iran over its nuclear programme.
