Flying into Iran

There are many different airlines operating in many countries around the globe with flight routes to and from Iran. One of the best ways to see your options and compare the prices is looking online – Alternative Airlines and Sky Scanner both compare flight prices between different airlines travelling to Iran, including major airlines such as Air Asia, Emirates, Etihad Airways, Qatar Airways, and Turkish Airlines. Flights from North America, Canada, Australia and England will all require a stopover due to lack of direct flights from these countries; British Airways stopped all direct flights to Iran in late 2018. Generally, dozens of flights arrive at Imam Khomeini International Airport daily, however the frequency of international flights depends on the carrier, of course.

In the 8 month period between March 21 and November 21, 2018, approximately 5.2 million tourists visited Iran, marking an increase in numbers compared to the 5.1 million tourists in the 12 months prior. People from all over the world are choosing Iran as their next travel destination; tourism in Iran is a growing industry, and with a weak Iranian Rial driving down prices for foreigners, it’s the perfect time to visit.
