Lufthansa expands Tehran flights suspension until April 18

BERLIN (Reuters) - German leader carrier Lufthansa has stretched out its suspension of trips to and from Tehran until April 18 and won't utilize Iranian airspace during that time, the organization said on Friday.

The transporter said the choice was taken after a "cautious assessment" utilizing government security evaluations and its own data.

Lufthansa initially declared it had dropped a departure from Frankfurt to Tehran last end of the week to keep away from the group landing and go through the evening.
