Hyderabad: Mahan Air, Iran’s private carrier, proposes to launch flights connecting Hyderabad to Tehran and Mashhad, Iran’s Consul General said on Wednesday. Under the new proposal, Mahan Air will operate the flight on the Hyderabad-Tehran-Mashhad route. “This flight will be launched in the near future,” said Iran’s new Consul General in Hyderabad, Mohammad Haghbin Ghomi. To begin with, this will be a weekly flight. Depending on demand, the frequency may be increased to thrice a week.
