IRAN: Oman's SalamAir Resumes Muscat–Tehran After Months-Long Suspension

TEHRAN, Iran

• Omani low-cost carrier SalamAir has resumed direct flights on the Muscat–Tehran–Muscat route after a suspension of several months.
• The first flight landed at Imam Khomeini International Airport (IKA) at 1130L and left for Muscat at 1230L with passengers on board.
• SalamAir plans to operate two weekly flights on the route, on Fridays and Sundays.
• SalamAir is the second foreign airline to return to Iran since the recent war, after Iraqi Airways resumed Iran flights earlier.
• Flights between Muscat and Tehran had been suspended since September 23, following restrictions the United States placed on flights by Iranian airlines.
• According to the Iranian Students' News Agency (ISNA), the restart follows political and diplomatic talks between Iranian and Omani officials.
• ISNA had earlier reported that the first phase would cover only the Muscat-Tehran route.
