Azerbaijan Suspends Iranian Airlines’ Flights Amid New U.S. Sanctions

Azerbaijan Airlines has announced the suspension of flights operated by Iranian airlines to Azerbaijan, effective today, following a new package of U.S. sanctions against Iran that includes additional restrictions targeting the aviation sector.

The airline said the decision comes amid Washington’s tightened measures against Iran’s aviation industry, including actions targeting airlines and entities providing services related to their operations.

The suspension comes as U.S. restrictions on Iran’s air transport sector intensify, affecting airlines and other entities involved in aviation-related services.
