Iranian Aviation

Hi all,

I just thought I'd start up a thread on Iranian Aviation, I don't know if I'm the only one but I find it absolutely fascinating and I'm really looking forward to it's explosive growth in the future with new aircraft orders and routes springing up all over the place.

For example, growth on LHR-IKA was 126%, obviously this is because of british Airways entering the market, but still, impressive and I wonder if Iran Air is getting a cut of it

I wonder if Mahan will re-instate their Gatwick and Birmingham routes when new aircraft come online? Or whether they could use their 737MAX/A320neo's to open up secondary EU/Asian markets.

It's almost guaranteed that Iran is going to be a major player in the coming decades, especially if they open up the country more to tourism. I wouldn't be put off by the Islamic element of the country, I know I'm the exception but Iran is absolutely the number 1 country I want to visit ASAP
