OREANDA-NEWS. November 25, 2011. Ticket sales for flights between Kiev and Tehran are available at the Ukraine International Airlines ticket offices, ticket agencies, and on the UIA website, www.flyuia.com, reported the press-centre of UIA.

Commencing 26 January 2012, UIA will introduce its new scheduled Kiev – Tehran (Iran) service. Performed three times a week, the Kiev – Tehran flights will be operated on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays, and Tehran – Kiev flights – on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. In the future, UIA plans to increase the frequency to seven flights a week.

“By launching new flights to Tehran, we continue to develop our network towards the East. This route is very promising, especially given our solid business relationships between Iran and Ukraine, in the fields of mechanical engineering and aircraft building industries in particular. Steady passenger traffic is also generated by students from Iran who are studying in Ukrainian high schools. – Denis Antonyuk, UIA Network Expansion Director, highlighted. – Kiev’s perfect geographic location also allows us to improve our recently-adopted model of a network carrier. At Kiev Boryspil International Airport, UIA flights to/from Tehran will be conveniently connected both with our international flights and domestic routes, allowing our passengers to reach their destination quickly and with comfort.”

Flights to/ from the capital of Iran will be performed in partnership with Antonov Airlines on both Boeing 737 and AN 148 aircraft.
