IranAir diverts flights to Istanbul to avoid EU sanctions

IranAir introduced a daily diversion between Tehran and Istanbul to fulfil its pre-booking obligations for flights to the EU, UK and Turkey, according to Arab media.

The move will provide an alternative to passengers affected by the airline’s suspension of all European routes under a yet-to-be-announced codeshare agreement with Turkish Airlines from their hub at Istanbul Airport.

The Turkish carrier would catch the flights that IranAir lost when passengers were transferred to London, Frankfurt and Paris. IranAir spokesperson Hessam Qorbanali said the daily service aimed to ease concerns of travellers affected by the EU sanctions and to ensure continuous links to Europe.

Alireza Manzari, Iran’s former representative to the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), stated that sanctions raised the cost of travel significantly. Flights to Europe became at least 30 per cent more expensive due to the lack of direct flights, resulting in the need for more expensive connecting flights, Manzari added.

IranAir suspended its European flights on 15 October following EU sanctions imposed on IranAir, Mahan Air and Saha Airlines. The sanctions caused logistical difficulties, including the refusal of European airports to refuel Iranian aircraft, forcing the carriers to make costly adjustments.

Maqsoud Asadi Samani, Secretary of the Association of Iranian Airlines, said IranAir was the last domestic carrier to offer services to Europe before the suspension took effect.

Are Iran Air slots at Heathrow up for grabs?

The European Union (EU) in an unprecedented move has placed more sanctions on Iran including its airlines. Iran Air, Mahan and Saha were the three airlines added to the sanctions. As geopolitics takes its own course, the aviation activity gears up differently.  Publicly available data sourced from slot coordinator ACL, airline booking engines and airport websites shows that Iran Air has a fair…

Did you know that 4 of the Israel Air Force aircrew that destroyed Iran's military capabilities in a multiple strike were women.

This is an important message to the oppressed women of Iran.

U.S. Pilots Attack Iran For Israel

US Air Force Captain Daniel Alwan violated operational security by revealing that he’s in Israel to prepare for a strike against Iran?

Shortly after he made this post he deleted it.

Did the US Congress approve the use of US pilots in an act of war against Iran?

Sky Hawk

Iranian project to use the Raytheon MIM-23 Hawk surface-to-air missile as a long-range BVR missile for the Grumman F-14 Tomcat, in an attempt to compensate for the lack of AIM-54 Phoenix missiles, expended during the Iran-Iraq war.

The project proved factible, but the end of the war brought an end to it.

🇺🇸🇸🇾🚨 💥BREAKING: US FORCES LAUNCH AIR STRIKES ON SYRIAN FACILITIES, CLAIMS STRIKES IN RESPONSE TO IRANIAN AGGRESSION💥

The United States Department of Defense announced late Thursday it had launched strikes against two supposed Iranian Revolutionary Guard Facilities in Syria.

According to the statement, US Forces launched the strikes in response to recent assaults on illegal US Bases in Syria and Iraq.

"Today, at President Biden’s direction, U.S. military forces conducted self-defense strikes on two facilities in eastern Syria used by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and affiliated groups," the statement from Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin reads.

"These precision self-defense strikes are a response to a series of ongoing and mostly unsuccessful attacks against U.S. personnel in Iraq and Syria by Iranian-backed militia groups that began on October 17."

According to the statement, 1 US citizen defense contractor died and 21 US Military personnel suffered minor injuries.

The statement goes on to claim the US has no interest in "engaging in hostilities" but attacks on US bases, legal or illegal, "are unacceptable and must stop."

The statement goes on to claim though Iran "hides" and "denies" its role in these attacks, but "we will not let them. If attacks by Iran’s proxies against U.S. forces continue, we will not hesitate to take further necessary measures to protect our people."

Lloyd Austin's statement goes on claim US strikes against Syria are, "intended solely to protect and defend U.S. personnel in Iraq and Syria," without ever mentioning the illegal nature of the US occupation of parts of Eastern Syria, nor the $100+ billion in Syrian oil the United States has stolen.

The DoD statement ends by saying, " We continue to urge all state and non-state entities not to take action that would escalate into a broader regional conflict."
