Turkish Airlines announced in a statement that it has decided to launch a direct flight to Urmia. According to the statement: “Company’s board of directors has decided to launch a scheduled direct route to the Iranian city of Urmia according to market opportunities and conditions. No information has been released on the number of flights and their origin. During the past year, with the outbreak of the Coronavirus, flights between Iran and Turkey were closed in March 2017 and resumed in September. With the outbreak of the new corona wave, these flights were closed again and resumed in February. Currently, Iranian flights to Istanbul are available and passengers can use these flights with a negative corona test. Statistics from the Turkish Ministry of Culture and Tourism show that in the first seven years of 2020, 242,052 people from Iran traveled to Turkey, which is about 78% less than the same period in 2019. In the first three months of 2020, before the borders of the two countries were closed, Iran was one of the top five countries with the largest number of tourists in Turkey. Iranian citizens do not need a visa to travel to Turkey, which is why this country is one of the busiest foreign destinations for Iranians.
