Air France halting flights to Iran from next month

VTV.vn - Air France and a few other international airlines said on Thursday they would halt flights to Iran from September, months after U.S. President Donald Trump announced he would re-impose sanctions on Tehran.

Air France will stop flights from Paris to Tehran from Sept. 18 specifically because of "the line's weak performance", an airline spokesman said.

The airline apologised to travellers planning to travel to Iran and said it was offering refunds for affected customers or a possible rerouting through other airlines. The sanctions, prompted partly by Washington's decision in May to abandon the Iran nuclear deal, have prompted many western firms to step back from business in Iran.
