Direct flights between Iran and Tajikistan have resumed after Varesh Airlines flew from Iran's holy city of Mashhad to Tajikistan's capital Dushanbe on June 6. Varesh Airlines is a private company founded in 2018. This airline performed its first flight on October 9 last year (from Tehran to Sari, the capital of Iran’s Mazandaran Province), IRNA reported. Earlier, flights from Mashhad to Dushanbe and back were performed by Iranian company Aseman Airlines , which stopped flights on this route in October last year due to “economic problems”. As a result, passengers who wanted to travel to Tajikistan had to take an indirect route to Tajikistan from a third country, which increased both costs and the flight time.
