British Airways will resume direct flights from London to Tehran later, after suspending them four years ago.
It will be the first direct flight by a UK carrier to Iran since 2012, when the route became commercially unviable because relations had broken down. It follows the lifting of some sanctions against Iran in January and the re-opening of the British embassy in the Iranian capital in 2015. BA said it will run flights six days a week from London Heathrow.
