Iran to Launch New Direct Flights to Iraq, Turkey in Nowruz Holidays
Two new direct flight routes are slated to launch operation from Iran’s Western city of Kermanshah to popular destinations in Iraq and Turkey, as the high season of travels is expected during Nowruz (New Year) holidays.
General Manager of Kermanshah’s Shahid Ashrafi Esfahani Airport (KSH) Mojtaba Bayati said on Sunday that during the New Year’s holiday (starts on March 20), a flight route will be launched between Kermanshah and the Iraqi city of Najaf to facilitate the commute of passengers between the two countries during the period.
Another flight will be launched between Kermanshah and Turkey, he added but did not mention the name of the Turkish city.
Noting that “the flights on the new route have been specifically scheduled for Nowruz holidays,” he said, the path will remain active in case it is welcomed by the passengers.
Kermanshah Airport is currently offering air trips to seven domestic destinations including Shiraz, Mashhad, Tehran, Kish Island, Qeshm, Asaluyeh and Bandar Abbas.
Earlier this month, Iranian and Omani officials celebrated establishment of direct flights between Iran’s Persian Gulf Island of Qeshm and Omani capital city of Muscat.
The two-way direct flight between Qeshm and Muscat is conducted twice a week.
The opening ceremony was held in presence of Director General of Qeshm Free Trade Zone (FTZ) and Iran's Ambassador to Oman Mohammadreza Nouri Shahroudi.
Also a number of Omani local officials were present in the event.
The Iranian ambassador said the new flight routes will increase connections between the two sides and lead to expansion of relation and cooperation.
