We, members of the Iranian community in Greece and friends of both nations, kindly request Aegean Airlines and the Greek Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport to consider establishing a direct flight between Athens and Tehran.

Such a route would greatly benefit thousands of passengers every year including students, families, and professionals  who currently face expensive and time consuming layovers when traveling between the two countries

A direct connection between Athens and Tehran would:

Strengthen cultural and economic ties between Greece and Iran 🇬🇷🤝🇮🇷
Boost tourism and business cooperation in both directions
Serve the growing Iranian community living in Greece
Facilitate travel for Greek travelers interested in Persian culture and history
For years, this route has been discussed but not implemented, mainly due to economic and regulatory challenges. We believe that with today’s improved connectivity and growing demand, it is time to make it happen.

We respectfully invite Aegean Airlines, the Greek Ministry of Transport, and relevant authorities to review this request and explore the feasibility of restoring or launching this direct service.

✍️ Let’s bring Athens and Tehran closer  one flight at a time. ✈️

One direct flight can bring two cultures closer.

Connecting Athens and Tehran  not just by miles, but by hearts.
