Iran’s national flag carrier, Iran Air, will resume its flights to the Dutch capital Amsterdam on May 14.
Iran Air said in a Monday statement that the resumption had been made possible after gaining the required approvals from health authorities in the Netherlands. It added that special certificate had been issued for Homa for renewed flights to Amsterdam.
The airline said, however, that a limited group of passengers would be qualified for the regular round-trip flight from Tehran to Amsterdam which is planned for Thursdays each week.
It said people with permanent residency in the Netherlands or those holding MVV and Type D visas as well as diplomatic staff or employees of humanitarian organizations, among others, could board the flights.
Iranian civil aviation authorities have said that flight routes to major destinations in the Middle East and in Asia would resume in the near future by other Iranian airlines.
Iran Air suspended all European flights in mid-March after tight restrictions were imposed on arrivals in major Western European countries because of the growing number of cases tested positive for the COVID-19, the disease caused by the new coronavirus.
