India stalls Direct flights to Tehran

[Armoured Division]

Just a signal to iran by india . that iin case of any usa's strikes in iran where will india stands .
.
indications are enough for wise .

So as no Pakistani airlines have flights to Iran, it means Pakistan will stand with USA?

Not that its very important for us but my question is that why would Indians cite "sanctions" as a reason? What does that have to do with anything? Are sanctions targeting counties who have direct flights to Tehran?
Even if they did, why would India be the only country to take action for it?
We're at a time when everyone is trying to establish ties with Iran specifically after the nuclear deal.
But India feels the need to do the exact opposite?
Why?
We need cooperation now more than ever. We need expansion of bilateral ties and we definitely need expansion of tourism to help both of our economies

Indians are US lackey. Modi is trying hard to please Trump. India is a nation of being on the wrong side on international issues and choosing the wrong country to side with.

route was terminated long ago because of low passengers load . iran air took the most of load . shaheen air and PIA tried many times on mashhad and tehran but not profitable route even with ATRs.

If the news is true then it is very unfortunate.

Iran is a time tested friend of India. India should not forget the help Iran has offered and in the past.

To the hell with the US policies , It is time India should act based on self interests vis - a-vis Iran.

This is about an Indian Airline companies reviewing it's trips to Iran not about India as a country stopping all flights between Iran & India!
They may conclude that at this time they wont be able to compete with Iran Air or another airlines prices specially if Iran was to get a bunch of new Air Crafts!
Or this could be the Trump administration pressuring a company!

Just like PIA & Shaheen cancelled Iran flight because of low psngr loads, Air India also doesn't find the route profitable as most passengers choose Iran Air.

I do not see this as an issue. More money for Iran Air!

So....
Indian STATE airliner is pre-emptively respecting a yet-non-existent request by an American fiance company because she is afraid it wouldn't get new loans from them?

1- there is no sanction yet
2- there is no request by the American finance companies yet
3- this is the STATE airliner of India so finance companies would kill to finance it. If Americans feel the need to boss you guys around you should look for another company and I'm convinced you'll find a lot of them
4- all other airliners are expanding their fleet to Iran

When the aircraft is leased the leaser has to conform to the conditions imposed by the leaser. If not they will be seized.
Work around is to create shell companies which have no financial stake or accounts in western system. These companies then can trade or deal with Iranian entities. Possibly Indian airlines might lease planes from some other airlines or do a seat sharing agreement with Iran air.

 

[Skull and Bones]

I believe few airlines will still have direct flights to Tehran, and GoI might give some domestic airlines permission to fly direct flights to Iran.

 

[Crixus]

Well if India stops and allow the Iranian air lines to operate between India and Iran .... then i think it will more beneficial for Iran ... they will get the share of Indian air lines too

Its a commercial loss to Indian airlines then Iran , hope things will settle down and we will those flights again @haman10

Indians have always been an American lackey, India's founding father even wanted to export 10 million Indian women to USA for some nasty purposes
