Flights between Iranian city of Mashhad and Damascus to be resumed

Tehran/Damascus, SANA- Director-General of International Airports in the Razavi Khorasan Province, north of Iran, Mahmoud Amani, said that a direct flight between the cities of Mashhad and Damascus will be resumed as of Sunday, at six o’clock p.m. Tehran time.

Amani added in a statement, “It is currently scheduled to continue the Mashhad/Damascus flight and vice versa for one day per week, while maintaining health protocols,” pointing to the conditions of foreign trips and that passengers must submit a negative PCR test result and a vaccine card.

Director of Air Transport at the General Corporation of Civil Aviation, Fadi Junaidi, said in a statement to SANA that a memorandum of understanding was signed between the General Corporation of Syrian Civil Aviation and Iranian Airlines, allowing each side to operate 60 flights per week and use the airports of the two countries.

The Mashhad flight to Damascus was operating before the terrorist war on Syria, but it was suspended due to the war during the past decade.
