The shooting down of a Ukrainian passenger plane caused the AUA subsidiary to temporarily suspend all Iran connections. That should end again.

Because from April 16, the crane airline wants to land again in Tehran, the Iranian capital. The destination has not been used since January last year. In the meantime, the requirements for safe flight operations in Iran's airspace are in place, a group spokesman told the news agency Reuters. 

On January 8, 2020, a Ukraine International Airlines Boeing 737-800 (flight number PS752) was mistakenly shot down by two Iranian anti-aircraft missiles shortly after take-off. There were no survivors among the 167 passengers and 9 crew members.
