After a break of a few years, AirAsia X has resumed direct flights into the Iranian capital, Tehran with the inaugural flight taking off on 21st June 2016.
AirAsia X flight D7 776 was waved off from Kuala Lumpur’s KLIA2 by Arik De, Head of Commercial for AirAsia X Berhad who surprised passengers on board with a special gift.
…. We are glad to see that our guests boarding the inaugural flight to Tehran are as excited as we are! We are confident that this new route will stimulate new travel demand and boost tourism and business potential for us and the two countries. Iran is a huge market to tap into and we will look forward to deepening our footprint in the region, and ensuring Malaysians and other citizens of ASEAN can fly further with us! The commencement of this route is timed perfectly to complement the group’s growing flight network in Kuala Lumpur, where the connectivity with ASEAN, China and Australia are being optimised with the new destinations and frequencies that we have introduced across the short and long haul network. Arik De

The city of Tehran nestles close to the Alborz mountain range and the visitor can find a wide range of activities to enjoy from food and shopping, to museums and historical buildings, including the UNESCO World Heritage site Golestan Palace.
