Iran Air resumes weekly flights to Karachi from Tehran and Mashhad
The Iranian carrier restores regular service to Pakistan with once-weekly operations linking the metropolis from both departure cities.
Iran Air has officially resumed scheduled international flights to Karachi, operating services to the Pakistani metropolitan destination from two domestic origins, Tehran and Mashhad. Under this operational program, the Iranian flag carrier connects both cities to Karachi on a weekly basis, providing one flight per week on each respective city pair.
The restoration of regular air traffic on these routes began with an inaugural flight from Mashhad to Karachi on Tuesday, 6 October, marking the restart of operations following an interruption of the commercial connection. Moving forward, the route between Mashhad and Karachi is scheduled to be operated weekly every Tuesday. For flights between the capital city of Tehran and Karachi, Iran Air operates one weekly frequency every Monday.
In addition to these reinstated flights to Pakistan, the carrier's active international network currently features cross-border services connecting Tehran and Mashhad to Istanbul, alongside additional scheduled operations linking Tehran and Isfahan to Najaf.
