Pakistan and Iran have officially started direct flights to strengthen trade, tourism, and cultural ties between the two countries. The announcement came from Iran’s ambassador to Pakistan, Dr. Reza Amiri Moqadam, who confirmed that Iran Air Tour will operate the first phase of flights. This new air route marks an important step in improving regional connectivity and cooperation.
The direct flights are the result of a recent aviation agreement signed by both countries. Dr. Moqadam credited the progress to the growing diplomatic efforts, especially after the Iranian president’s visit to Pakistan. The agreement aims to make travel easier and faster for citizens and businesspeople from both nations.
Officials expect the flights to boost tourism by encouraging more Iranian visitors to explore Pakistan’s natural beauty and cultural heritage. Likewise, Pakistani tourists will find new opportunities to visit Iran. The ambassador expressed hope that the flights will strengthen people-to-people connections and promote mutual understanding.
Trade between Pakistan and Iran is also set to benefit from the new route. Faster travel and transport links will improve business exchanges and open new markets. The envoy thanked the Pakistani government for its cooperation in making the initiative possible.
Finally, the ambassador said this development reflects the shared commitment of both countries to deepen their relationship. He emphasized that the new flights will help build friendship, support economic growth, and promote peace in the region. Both Pakistan and Iran look forward to a new era of cooperation.
