The Spokesman of Iran’s Civil Aviation Organization Jaffar Yazarloo said on Monday that Iran Air will carry out flights from Mashhad to Dammam on Tuesdays and Thursdays starting on December 3.
He said the flights will mostly accommodate passengers from Dammam seeking to visit Mashhad, Iran’s second-largest city located in the country’s northeast which is home to the holy shrine of Imam Reza (AS), the eighth Shia Imam.
Iran Air’s CEO also said on Monday that the resumption of flights between Mashhad and Dammam is in line with the policies of the governments of Iran and Saudi Arabia to expand their economic and cultural relations.
Shamseddin Farzadipour said that the restoration of flights had been realized despite growing international pressures on Iran’s national airline.
