Iran has launched first direct flight between the coastal city of Bandar Abbas and Oman's capital – Muscat, ISNA reported Aug.7.
The roundtrip flight was carried out by Iran’s Kish Airlines.
The process of launching direct flights between Bandar Abbas, located on the coastline of Persian Gulf, and Muscat had took a year to be implemented, the report said.
