In 2011 Bahrain closed its air
route to Iran after announcing that it was no longer able to continue its
flights to Iran and back.
Last week officials from
the Bahraini civil aviation system paid visit to Iran, announcing that they
were willing to resume the flights.
The independent newspaper
Al Wasat reported Thursday that flights will resume Dec. 15 to the eastern
Iranian city of Mashhad, The Daily Star says.
The Vice Chancellor of Iran’s
Minister of Roads and Urban Development Mohammadali Noorian in interview with Fars
said "The Bahraini had cancelled flights to Iran themselves. Last week they
came to Iran and asked to resume air route.”
He added that Iran’s Civil
Aviation Organization has agreed to the initiative.
The rout will reopen with 4 flights per week and in the case of
favorable circumstances, the frequency will rise to 45.
