Austrian Airlines will resume flights to the Iranian capital Tehran on Sunday, the carrier said, after a near five-month suspension triggered by the Israel-Iran war.<\/p>\n
German airline Lufthansa also said it intends to resume flights to Tehran from December, but added that a precise restart date would be announced closer to the time.<\/p>\n
Austrian Airlines said its first flight to Tehran would depart Sunday at 7:35 pm (1835 GMT).<\/p>\n
The carrier’s security team is continuing to “closely assess developments throughout the region”, it said in a statement.<\/p>\n
“The safety of our crews and passengers is always our top priority.”<\/p>\n
Both Austrian Airlines and Lufthansa suspended their flights in June after the outbreak of the 12-day war between Israel and Iran.<\/p>\n
They were among a host of carriers who put services to Iran on hold due to the conflict.<\/p>\n
Austrian Airlines is part of the wider Lufthansa Group, which also includes Eurowings, Swiss and Brussels Airlines.<\/p>\n
