Iran approves Serbia air agreement
NEWS FLASH
Iran has ratified a new Air Service Agreement with Serbia four years after it was drafted. The agreement simplifies the process of introducing scheduled commercial flights between the two countries. The Iranian parliament approved the deal this week, following its Serbian counterpart in 2020. Under the agreement, designated airlines from both countries can launch flights between any points in each others’ respective states. Furthermore, it enables codesharing between carriers. The number of frequencies between the two must receive prior approval from each side. In a statement, the Iranian parliament said, “This agreement was signed with the aim of using air services in the exchange of goods, passenger transportation and expansion of international mail (postal services) and it strengthens economic relations and other areas of cooperation between the two countries”. Iranian carrier Mahan Air operated regular charter flights between Tehran and Belgrade from May. However, they almost exclusively catered for transfer passengers to and from China. The service was terminated in July after Hainan Airlines launched scheduled operations between Beijing and the Serbian capital.
