Russia has resumed regular air traffic with Iran and several other countries, which had earlier been suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Russia has resumed its flights to Iran, the Bahamas, Norway, Slovenia, Tunisia, Sweden, and Thailand.

Accordingly, three flights will be made between Tehran and Moscow every week and one flight between Sochi and Tehran.
