Iran's Mahan Air cancels Paris flights over 'sanctions''
Mahan Air has been forced to cancel its Paris flights over "sanctions", its customer services team said Tuesday, weeks after Germany banned the airline. "We have been told that (flights to France) have been cancelled ... as of the first of April," an operator at the airline's office in Tehran said The Paris schedule will be scrapped "because of sanctions" by the French, the source said. Mahan, the Islamic republic's second-largest carrier after Iran Air, flies up to 4 services a week between Tehran and Paris. Germany imposed a ban on Mahan in January, which the foreign ministry said was necessary to protect Berlin's "foreign and security policy interests". That decision came amid broader sanctions adopted by the EU against Tehran over attacks on opponents in the bloc. <br/>
