Dec. 9, 2009 - PRLog -- Iran Air has announced the release of new web-fares for 2010, with the price of an economy return from London Heathrow to Tehran starting at just £318.00, fully inclusive of taxes and service charges

Iran Air operates widebodied aircraft, either Airbus 300 or Boeing 747, three times weekly from London Heathrow's Terminal 3 direct to Tehran's Imam Khomeini International Airport.

All fares are now available through the Iran Air London Office website at http://www.iranair.co.uk which has been developed in partnership with Alternative Airlines.

Mr Dayoush Niknam, UK General Manager for IranAIr said: " These fares
are not just tactical reductions. We understand that whilst the demand for air travel to Iran continues to grow - in terms of business traffic, as well as leisure and VFR - it is a price sensitive market. Even with our direct flights, we need to establish IranAIr as a year-round price competitive airline".

Mr John Pope, Managing Director of Alternative Airlines said: " The local web site is a growing distribution channel for IranAir. We took twice as many online bookings for IranAir in September as we did in August and then doubled the number of bookings again for October. With these competitive new fares now available for 2010, we are expecting online bookings to continue to grow rapidly during December"
