Thu, 01st Sep 2016 08:50

(ShareCast News) - The first British Airways flight in four years took off from London on Thursday in the latest symbol of thawing relations between the west and Iran after the lifting of sanctions.The airline, owned by London-listed International Consolidated Airlines (IAG), will offer six return flights a week from London Heathrow and Tehran, and a daily service will start later this year.BA's three times a week flights to Iran were suspended in October 2012, a year after the British embassy in Tehran was closed after being stormed by protesters over sanctions against its nuclear programme.In 2015 the embassy was reopened after a deal on Iran's nuclear programme was reached with the six world powers - UK, US, France, Russia, Germany and China.
