Iran's Varesh Airlines launched the Mashhad-Tehran-Tajikistan route on Sept. 2.

The connecting flights leave Mashhad International Airport every Monday for Tehran's Imam Khomeini International Airport before departing to Tajikistan.

Direct flights between Iran and Tajikistan officially resumed after Varesh Airlines operated a plane from Iran's holy city of Mashhad to Dushanbe on June 6.

Private company Varesh Airlines was founded in 2018. This airline conducted its first flight on Oct. 9 last year (from Tehran to Sari, the capital of Iran’s Mazandaran Province).

Now, flights from Mashhad to Dushanbe are operating on Thursdays at 9:15 a.m. local time, and the return flight is scheduled for the same day at 1 p.m.

The cost of a single ticket, according to Tajik Telegraph Agency, is $250.

Iran’s Embassy in Tajikistan hopes the number of direct flights between the two countries will increase in the future, considering the strengthening of mutual relations and the increase number of passengers.
