KLM returns to Tehran after 3-years long pause

The dutch flagcarrier decided to continue its service to the Iranian capital after a three years long stop due to the political and economical unrest in the region.

This route is among KLM’s most popular services, as the company was operating between 1948 an 2013.

According to the airline the new flights will be operated with a Boeing 777-200 with three different travel classes on board: 34 seats in World Business Class, 40 seats in Economy Comfort, and 242 seats in Economy Class. The Economy Comfort seats offer 10 cm more legroom and have double the recline of standard Economy Class seats. Economy Comfort passengers are also given priority when disembarking.

KL0433 will depart from Amsterdam at 17.40 on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays, arriving in Tehran at 01.20 (local time). The return flight, KL0434, departs from Tehran at 03.20 (local time), arriving in Amsterdam at 06.45.

The re-opening of the Middle Eastern destionation after Iran has undergone major economic growth since January 2016, since the international economic sanctions were largely lifted.
