Flights between Iran and Afghanistan have resumed after receiving permission from Iranian and Afghan aviation authorities.
The private Iranian airline Mahan Air flew 19 passengers on a charter flight from the holy city of Mashhad to the Afghan capital, Kabul, on Wednesday. Mahan then brought 26 people back to Mashhad. There was also a flight from Kabul to Tehran. The flights took off after the Iranian Civil Aviation Organization and their Afghan counterparts issued the necessary permits, the semi-official Mehr News Agency reported.
