Iran's Mahan Air has been forced to cancel its Paris flights over "sanctions", its customer services team said Tuesday (March 19th), AFP reported.
"We have been told that (flights to France) have been cancelled... as of the first of April," an operator at the airline's office in Tehran's Imam Khomeini Airport said.
The Paris schedule will be scrapped "because of sanctions" by the French, the source said by phone without elaborating.
Mahan flies up to four services a week between Tehran and Paris.
Germany imposed a ban on Mahan in January, which the foreign ministry said was necessary to protect Berlin's "foreign and security policy interests".
That decision came amid broader sanctions adopted by the EU against Tehran over attacks on opponents in the bloc.
Mahan Air was blacklisted by the US in 2011, as Washington said the carrier was providing technical and material support to the Quds Force of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC-QF).
