Tehran-Trabzon direct flights begin
Direct flights between Tehran and the Black Sea city of Trabzon have officially launched, with an inaugural flight of 140 passengers kicking off a new twice-weekly schedule.
The flights will operate on Tuesdays and Fridays, concluding four years of negotiations delayed by regional conflicts.
Trabzon Metropolitan Mayor Ahmet Metin Genç said the route proves the city’s status as a major tourism hub.
“We have historical ties with Iran,” Genç said, noting Trabzon added Tabriz to its sister cities list, joining Rasht and Zanjan.
