Iranian airline Mahan Air, which is entering the Ukrainian market, together with UM Air will launch flights from Kyiv to seven cities in Asia, according to a press release from Mahan Air.

In particular, the airlines will launch flights to Dubai (the United Arab Emirates), Bangkok, Delhi (both in India), Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia), Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou (all in China).

The flights will be carried out through Khomeini airport in Tehran.
