Aug 10, 2017 (newstodate): The Teheran-based Mahan Air now seems to have given up any hope for a fresh start of services to Copenhagen.
Mahan Air launched flights on the route between Tehran and Copenhagen from June 9, 2016, but was forced to suspend services in March 2017 after an inspection detected that the airline carried armed air marshalls which is not permitted under Danish law.
Several rounds of talks betwen Mahan Air and the Danish Transport Authority have ended without result.
-The Danish CAA has not issued a permission on our request, and the other Scandinavian countries are prone to following them. It seems that we will not have any chance to operate flights to points in Scandinavia, says a Mahan Air source requiring anonymity.
In Sweden, the Swedish CAA approved Mahan Air's application on March 23, 2016, for rights to launch traffic from June 2, 2016, between Tehran and Stockholm Arlanda, but the Swedish government shelved the issue.
