All foreign airlines in Iran will from next week operate from the new but under-used airport outside the capital Tehran.
Gholam Hossein Baqerian, the managing director of Imam Khomeini International Airport (IKIA),30 km from Tehran, said that from November 4 foreign airlines would use this airport.
Until now most foreign airlines have continued to use the city-centre Mehrabad airport, in the future this will be used almost exclusively for domestic flights.
