Canadians trying to fly home from Iran have grown accustomed to seeing Tehran's airport departures board devoid of direct flights to back to their country, a sight some travel experts worry could spell difficulty for travellers following recent tension and tragedy in Middle East.
“We had a call from one our clients. Her sister died in that crash and she was calling us from the Iran airport. She wants to go back to join for the funeral, but the flight from Frankfurt to Tehran was cancelled,” Najafi said. Lufthansa flights through Frankfurt were also commonly used, but Najafi said some flights Canadian customers could have taken through the German city were cancelled.
Even before the crash and tensions, travel options to Tehran were limited, said Talebzadeh. Canadians trying to fly to or from Iran have grown accustomed to seeing Tehran’s airport departures board devoid of direct flights. Travellers hoping to get home this week, he said, can instead fly from Tehran to Dubai, Doha or Istanbul and then catch connections to major Canadian cities like Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver.“For a lot of carriers, they have to detour over all these airspaces to get where they are going, so flight times may be longer and there will be higher fuel consumption.”

Iran says it will let Canadian investigators join plane crash probeIran's civil aviation authority says it has invited Canadian investigators from the Transportation Safety Board to join a growing team probing the plane crash outside Tehran that killed 138 people believed bound for Canada. Yes, after trampling on all the evidence? Have you seen a Canadian librarian arranging books? they were 'gloves' to arrange books in a Library, that is our standard. Look at that debris field! That plane was shot down or bombed my guess. By the Americans, also my guess. I won't be shocked. That is not engine failure. 15 seasons of watching Mayday says....hmmmm. Such a sad, tragic day for so many Canadians. Glad they will allow us to help. Iran will let Canadian investigators go there, kidnap them and then ask Canada pay to release them. This is how a criminal gov works.

Canada, Iran hold rare call as plane crash investigators release initial findingsIranian investigators say UIA flight 752 caught fire due to a technical failure and was trying to return to the airport when it crashed In the initial Globe story the authors (incorrectly) drew a link between this aircraft and 737 Max (and were called out for it). Now the same writers accuse Iran authorities of making that same connection. Shameful, irresponsible, second rate. cdnfp cdnpoli IranPlaneCrash
