Tehran, IRNA – Head of Iran's Civil Aviation Organization (CAO) Mohammad Mohammadi Bakhsh has announced that Iran canceled all flights to Azerbaijan and Armenia until further notice.

In an interview with IRNA on Wednesday, Mohammadi Bakhsh said that Iran canceled all flights to Azerbaijan and Armenia until further notice due to the special conditions of the region and according to a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM).

He added that the flight cancellations aim at saving the lives of passengers and carrying out flights with full safety.
