US sanctions disrupt Iranian flights as Tehran warns regional airports

publishers 4articles 6first reported 23 Sep, 19:27 UTCdeveloping since 23 Sep · 8 editions

New US sanctions on Iranian airlines have disrupted flights and restricted their access to airspace, forcing some travelers to use more expensive overland routes, according to Al Jazeera and Reuters.

Georgia and Azerbaijan have suspended Iranian flights amid the widening restrictions, Al Jazeera reported. Tehran has threatened countries that enforce the US measures, warning that their airports could face disruptions.

The restrictions have not halted all international services. Bloomberg reported that Iranian flights were continuing to China and Thailand in defiance of the sanctions.

The measures have increased travel difficulties for civilians as Iranian carriers lose access to airports and flight routes.
